Exact text of Second Amendment (of US Constitution) [[DISCUSSION]]

I take the 2nd amendment as being quite literal.
A well-regulated militia is necessary and as a citizen, you are a member of said militia. This can be referenced here:

With this, there leaves no room for interpretation. You are a part of the militia, and should the need arise, you should do what is necessary to maintain the security of your state.
By this, you are granted the ability to bear arms.

Being time period conscious, I would bet that the founding fathers would expect the militia to be as well armed as any army.
