Seems to us like 99% of Americans are either too illiterate or too lazy
to read that entire sentence and understand the delimiting context of
the clause in the first half. Or maybe it's us, and we're mistaking
the armed forces and police as a well-regulated militia. Bazookas
and tanks for everyone!
Perhaps you should read the court decisions on the Militia Clause, if you have not. Basically, they don't find it limits the broader right.
