I'd like to have a time machine to go back and ask the framers of the Bill of Rights exactly what they had in mind.

What the second amendment specifically says is: "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."

The constitution talks about "a well regulated Militia, there is nothing in the constitution that gives the right to bear arms to private citizens who are not part of the Militia.
