The entire second amendment here: “ 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.”

Notice the first phrase. Absolutely nothing here says “every Joe wacko can have military grade arms in case they want to overthrow the government “

Tell me it’s originalism to interpret the words above in any way other than what it reads as: a description of state militias.
