Yeah because it’s fully half of the amendment and completely ignored. It’s not liberals focusing on it that matters, it’s the gun nuts ignoring it.
It explains why the second half is necessary. It doesn’t place any restrictions on it. If it did, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” would say something like “the right of organized militias to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”
Militias were a real thing then, they aren’t now.
If the amendment is no.longer relevant, change it. Stop encouraging the government to find ways to weasel around our rights or they’re going to do it to the rest of them.

No it didn’t. That is never what “regulated” meant. Militias were a real thing then, they aren’t now.
