To remove Bob Costas from the air for repeated attempts to undermine the Bill of Rights. Regarding his position on the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. With flagrant disregard of the citizens of the U.S.
By "well regulated" they mean regulation firearms military grade. By "free state" they are not inferring that the states governing body needs protection from itself, but that the people have the right to protect themselves from a tyrannical governing body. By "keep & bear arms" they mean on our persons or stored at our convenience. Not subject to the surrender or nullification on their doorstep. The "right of the people" & "shall not be infringed" should be obvious to all. This includes bladed & other weapons.
