    Each amendment doesn’t represent a single right. The 1st covers freedom of religion, freedom of speech, & freedom of the press.

    The “if” placed the conditional requirement not the comma.

      The linguistics at the time didn’t use the coding logic of if then as often outside of scientific scenarios.

      There is a clear declaration of the need for regulation of gun ownership. What separate right are you proposing the same sentence is declaring?

        No that isn’t clear at all.

        It was originally thought it was a right given to the states and not the people. It has not become a right of the people.

        It some states it was mandatory that you owned a gun and ammo in case you were called up.

        The 2nd amendment was written to allow the states to build militias. In return the federal government was supposed to a small or zero standing army. That isn’t how it all worked out.
