If i was giving an uneducated layman's detailed analyzation, i read it like this:
Quote:
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.

An actual official militia, might be required one day for defense from XYZ, so folks have the right to keep arms, don't fool with it.
I try not to read too much into things, i don't think they were speaking pig-latin. I have alternative readings depending on the commas, definition of
state and phrase placement swaps, but all of them still hinge on that last
shall not be infringed bit.
