"A good sauce being necessary to the taste of a good pizza, the right of the People to grow and cook tomatoes shall not be infringed," does not imply that tomatoes should be grown and cooked only to make pizza sauce. This emphasis on the first clause of the 2nd Ammendment while totally ignoring the plain meaning of the second clause is baffling. How stupid are the drafters supposed to have been? Do you think that if they had really intended for arms to only be kept and borne by "a well regulated militia" that they couldn't have explicitly said so?

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the members of well regulated militias to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The first clause is an example of why the People, who in every other instance in the constitution are recognized to mean citizens in general, shall not have their right to keep and bear arms infringed. The first clause cannot possibly change the plain meaning of "the People" in the second clause to mean some smaller subset of the People.
