“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.”
Militias were made up of the people, who had guns. Militias were seen as a protection against tyranny of the state. So the right of the people to own guns should not be infringed.
