It is evident that there are many different meanings/definitions for most of the words, used by the Framers, when they wrote the Amendment. Of particular interest, is that, no matter which different meaning or definition is used - they all spell out the same OVERALL meaning. Done by DESIGN perhaps? For, after all, it is crystal clear that our Founders were NOT dummies! As ANYONE should plainly be able to see, the Second Amendment MEANS EXACTLY what was written. And CANNOT be disputed!
