It's one of the most controversial passages of the Constitution. Allegedly, it's also one of the most obscure and unintelligible sections. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads, "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."

1. Keep-That means I own it and you can't have it.
2. Bare-means I have it right here on me and its loaded.
3.Militia-all able bodied 18 and over.

Thus its a civil, natural, and constitutional right.

Study some history and read the federalist papers. There is no ambiguity or unintelligibility in the meaning and intent of the second amendment.

Some people want to subvert the meaning of the second amendment to fit their self conceived agenda.

Just like the revisionists are teaching that the Japanese were already defeated and there was no reason to drop the atomic bombs. Study the history of 1945 and one will find that the Japanese were preparing to inflict heavy casualties on the US armed forces in the event an invasion was necessary.

Why would the framers enumerate rights to individuals in all the 10 amendments of the BOR and yet some how exclude 2A as an individual right?

The debates during the constitutional convention were all about individual rights. Anything involving authorized govt action was referred to as 'powers".
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran
