Amendment II
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.

"A well regulated Militia" - This refers to all able persons able to bear and fire arms.

"being necessary to the security of a free State" - Secure from a Federal Government from taking these rights away.

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" = Clearly defines AS A RIGHT to the people to keep (own) and bear (carry) arms.

"shall not be infringed" - Denies any authority to the Federal Government (AND CONGRESS) from enacting any law (or definition) restricting the people from exercising their 2nd amendment rights. The choice and use of the words "shall not" were deliberate and unambiguous.
