Second Amendment

    "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."

    This is not about one right, it's about two separate rights:
    The second amendment does not only protect the right to keep and bear arms. It also protects the right to have a militia, and then goes on to protect the right to keep and bear arms.

    It does not make arms rights conditional upon the existence (and thereby definition) of a militia. It makes both the militia and arms inviolate.

    In the first amendment, the founding fathers could just have easily written, "A free press, being necessary for the existence of a free state, freedom of speech, shall not be infringed."
