No, you have no problem interpreting the amendment the one particular way because that's what you want to interpret.
Granted, it's my interpretation as well, but as written, it is easily interpreted the other way as well. Hence my statements.
If it were so clear, it would be no issue. It would say "person" and/or leave out words like "well regulated militia" or hell, even if it was broken into two sentences.... Nah, it's vague, and scholars even agree it's poorly written.

I don't post web sites with views opposing rights, ever. Rights aren't arguable. Rights are private property, I own my rights completely.

The Second Amendment, as written, is so vague that it renders it easily interpretable either one or the other way.
Trust me, I wish it was clear, trust me I do, but it's not.
