The Second Amendment says, “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.”

Reading this for the umpteen thousandth time I've have a new thought.
The bill of rights was written to convince the people they could live with this government without being afraid of it.... it would not oppress them. Are they saying, Hey, the states must have a government force (militia) for security, but you can have guns too, so you don't have to fear that force?
I never thought of it that way before.
