Its pretty cut and dry. You don't need to be in a 'well regulated militia'. Its two seperate thoughts. We need a militia, we need the people to armed to form a militia, so the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The only argument is that a militia is outdated (I don't agree with this thought, but liberals think that way), the right to bear arms is clear as day and does not require you to be in a milita to do so.
