Seems to me it says this:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state and the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed....
But you support doing that for prisoners... Which would mean that you don't take the clause "shall not be infringed" to be a literal and complete exemption from all rules and regulations on gun control.
Hmmm, well we'll have to agree to disagree. If a person chooses to commit a crime, they know they are giving up their rights. Then they have no rights for anyone to infringe upon. On the other hand, I, as a lawful person, have my rights intact, and "they shall not be infringed"
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state and the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed....
Nope, there's a comma after the word state. On purpose.
Yes.
I see it now.
It says, "I want to eliminate guns".

I am not for gun control. I am for gun elimination, at least for certain types of gun.
You see; you clearly state you want to eliminate guns such as magazine fed semi-auto guns.
Tens of millions of Americans own semi-auto magazine fed rifles, and you want them eliminated.
If your own words still confuse you, find an adult and get them to work with you on your reading.

It doesn't matter. The premise, that a well-regulated militia matters in this day and age is preposterous. It is nothing but the vestige of a long, long gone era. The amendment is as anachronistic and inapplicable as statutes requiring a person to walk in front warning the approach of a horseless carriage.
Background checks are the skirts that spineless politicians hide behind. There should be no background checks.
You want a gun, you should be able to buy a gun. Just not a military grade crowd killer.

Every gun is "military grade".
And as Charles Whitman proved, single fire bolt action hunting rifles can kill crowds.
