Interesting, Patrick Henry said something similar however once again they said all this 200+ years ago and the world has changed a lot in that time, therefore what needs to be determined is the validity of the amendment today in terms of its intent at the time of writing.
I am not entirely convinced you can split the two points and just keep selling the "
the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." without understanding the intent of the first part
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State,"
