another person who is ignorant of history, and I quote

"The Bill of Rights, as provided in the first ten amendments to the 
Constitutuion of the United States of America effective december 
15, 1791"

"Article 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"

by "free State" they ment the rights of the people. that is clear from 
the writings of the founding fathers, mayhaps you have never hear 
of the Second American revolution? (AKA the whisky rebelion?)
