這是誤解。第二條沒有說民兵才能擁有武裝。

第二條 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。第一句話是給出擁槍的理由。如果民兵才能擁有武裝，第二句會說 the right of the people to join a militia and keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. 限制加入民兵才能擁槍。美國法院從未判決過要加入民兵才能擁有武裝。
