By your own words: “If you believe that the second amendment
gives you the right to keep and bear arms without governmental infringement, which is the essence of the phrase….” you were showing your fundamental misunderstanding of the 2nd amendment.
The 2nd Amendment: “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.”
Where in that simple declaration do you see any words such as give, grant, etc. You don't, and you won’t find it anywhere else in the constitution either. So given that, exactly where did that right that this amendment seeks to protect, come from?
