As passed by the Congress:
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.

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.[8]
ARNG = WELL REGULATED MILITIA COMPRISED OF CITIZEN SOLDIERS. Not a mob of hillbillies with shot guns.
