Actual text reads "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."

Can someone explain why Americans think that this mean regular citizens have the right to keep weapons in their home? The amendment clearly states that the right to bear arms is only for the purpose of maintaining a Militia (to defend out country against invasion). So if you're not part of the Official US Militia, you should not be allowed to own a weapon. And nowhere in the amendment does it say you have the right to keep a weapon in your house.

A Militia keeps their weapons in a centrally located arms depot, and when the country is invaded by outsiders, the Milita goes to this central depot, collects their personal weapon(s) and defends the country.

Can someone expalin why this is so difficult for Americans to understand? And maybe why it's so difficult for lawmakers and law enforcement persons to understan

I agree with most that relgion is bunk.

The same goes with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth fairy and such.

I have grown and learned to disregard those falsehoods, but I do see it's positive impact on society.

I really don't care what has to happen to make society a better place. I am willing to accept all answers.
My opinon is that "So what if it is false?"
If the outcome outweights the falsehoods, then why not?

Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy have at least given me some positive aspects about the world, instead of what it really is.

Granted, religion like everything is used for evil.
I will give you that. There is enough of that in the bible and Koran and every other religous doctrine.

Can we use the positive impact using religion to influence children to make this a better world. Even if it is false?
