from second link:
According to Wikipedia:
‘The importance (or lack thereof) of these differences has been the source of debate regarding the meaning and interpretation of [2nd] the amendment, particularly regarding the importance of the prefatory clause.
One version was passed by the Congress, and a slightly different version was ratified.
Passed by Congress (emphasis mine):
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.
Ratified:
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.’
ratified wins 🙂
One year of “legitimacy” in my glass business was enough to say, “git under that table, boy!” The taxes owed on no income was the deal, and I was not about to play any more. I never renewed it because it cost me excess fees to have a new boss! They ain’t my boss, have nothing to do with my work, (they never even offer to help), and contribute nothing to my business.
Only trouble is, if I try to advertise, they will shut me down, take my tools and fine me. It has to be all word of mouth for any new customers.
The original copy, having it as the fourth article, is capitalized. From the Library of Congress: https://www.wdl.org/en/item/2704/view/1/1/
