Most conservatives believe in a plain text reading of the 2nd. Read it again and notice what the first words are - There are several versions of the text of the Second Amendment, each with capitalization or punctuation differences. Differences exist between the drafted and ratified copies, the signed copies on display, and various published transcriptions.[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The importance (or lack thereof) of these differences has been a source of debate regarding the meaning and interpretation of the amendment, particularly regarding the importance of the prefatory clause.[33][34] One version was passed by the Congress, and a slightly different version was ratified.[a][35][36][37][38] As passed by the Congress and preserved in the National Archives, with the rest of the original handwritten copy of the Bill of Rights prepared by scribe William Lambert, the amendment says:[39] 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. The amendment was ratified by the States and authenticated by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson as:[40] "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.' (from wikipedia).

"A Well Regulated" is the first 4 words.
