It seems that I messed up so I deleted the post as long as it is within 24 hours of posting and I am replacing it with this one. I got confused trying to answer a hypothetical argument about the expression "the right of the people" suggesting inclination for other reasons to restrict government power on keeping and bearing of Arms. Of course if "the right of the people" was intended to be ""the right of the people"" then that argument got nothing. But that is not necessary because otherwise post +90 below, at least with the change added here, gave a sufficient answer for that argument. My mistake was that when I saw how much "the right of the people" could be seen to refer to something already established I thought that post would not fit because I took when "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state" was stated to lead to the right of keeping and bearing Arms, as when that right started to exist.
I need to correct or make things better in post +90 by replacing "the preceding part" (referring to the part of the Amendment before "the right of the people") with "the condition expressed in the preceding part".
