Let's look at that first phrase. A well regulated militia means a militia under the control of the government, not a bunch of gomers in rural Idaho.
The second phrase speaks to the reason for the amendment which is the security of a free State. You having a gun does nothing to ensure the security of the free State. Not only that but your one-or ten-silly little guns does nothing to protect you from a tyrannical state.

If you know any history then you would realize that the founding fathers stated that the people as a whole are the militia. They made it absolutely clear.
