I really don’t know what to say because your simply wrong. Sorry. Again. The commas separate militia in one group, and the “people” into a second differentiated group resulting in the two separate groups having equal protection.
The second amendment reads “ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”. Is that true?
You want it to read: A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Which it does not.
Sorry.
Ok genius wordsmith. Who then comprises that militia?
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
What Is a Comma?
While a period ends a sentence, a comma indicates a smaller break. Some writers think of a comma as a soft pause—a punctuation mark that separates words, clauses, or ideas within a sentence.
