The statement you quote says "a well regulated militia." Why is that part not important? |
It's explaining the reason we need the amendment.
It is saying that the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, because a well regulated militia is necessary for a free state.
Let me give you a recent example: literally this week China has just declared that Xi can be the President of China for a lifetime. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/emperor-xi-china-gambles-on-return-to-lifetime-rule-9991724
China doesn't have the right to bear arms, so this is their defense against a rogue state:

The second amendment has NOTHING to do with self defense or hunting. It has EVERYTHING to do with defending ourselves from a possible rogue government.
