    Nah, the militia bit was always a separate dependent clause (in the English grammar sense). It’s reasoning.

    The right shall not be infringed is an independent clause. It stands on it’s own. I know almost no one remembers elementary school, but independent vs dependent clauses are taught there. Anyone remember diagramming sentences?
