Several days ago I made a post about finding how the relative comparison "best" was changed to the non-comparative word "necessary" and how that provides even more support for the argument related to the need for the sufficiency of the militia in our modern weapon world.But then I found out that change was not direct and there were other middle step(s) so I deleted the post since it was still less than 24 hours old.In this post I am going back to that point again.
We can see that the "being the best security" description for the militia started early in the process of making the amendment. That continued from June 8 1789
"A well regulated militia, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed"

Assuming that I am not missing other intermediate step(s), that was changed also by the Senate in September 9 of the same year to:

As you can see the relative comparison "best" was removed and replaced by a condition related to satisfying "being the security" expressed through the removal of the comma before "being". In other words we again reach similar conclusion related to the sufficiency of a militia similar to the earlier one that was missing this intermediate step.

Notice how that was supported again by the ratified version.
If one hesitates to use the word "removal" and instead try to be content with "omission" with the ratified version,this was a pure intentional removal for the comma before "being".
Now we see that the "being necessary for the security of a free state" in the Congress comma version being clamped from the development side by the same congress before making the amendment then later by the interpretation side through the ratified version after making the amendment as being intended to be reality dependent instead of always true.
