Let's study, for a moment, the word infringe:
Verb;
1) Actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.): "infringe a copyright".
2) Act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on: "infringe on his privacy".
Now let's use it in a sentence:
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 last word in this sentence, by definition, means to not limit or undermine. So they use it's definition in that same example sentence.
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 limited or undermined.
It becomes EXTREMELY clear when people understand the definition of 'infringed' that the 2nd Amendment can NOT be 'limited or undermined'. I think maybe our government needs to study for a moment.
