Language of the Second Amendment

We want to hear about your favorite passage of the constitution, and may invite you to follow up on-air or online. Need a refresher? Here it is.
@KM-
Regarding the Second Amendment, the exact meaning of "...well-regulated militia..." is in dispute but in my mind there is no doubt that the amendment allows for every citizen the right to keep AND bear arms.
Do you really want every person on the street to be allowed to carry a gun if they want to? Are you in favor of background checks, carry permits and other restrictions to our rights?
I'm glad that states and municipalities have acted to curtail certain gun rights but for me there is a little doubt that most of what has been done is unconstitutional.
