Washington, D.C. lawyers have ruled that the 2nd Amendment refers to the militia.
EDIT: Upon further reading, I see the AWB expired in 2004. For some reason, I thought it had been revoked by pressure from the people.

You have some good points and bad points. First, the Democrats that seem to be heavy handed with the gavel for the 2AM are the same ones with the most influence on the hill. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shumer, Dianne Fienstien, Kennedy (Booze Hound) and others. Dianne Fienstein herself is solely responsible for the ban on handguns in the city of San Francisco, Cali. Although she has her own concealed carry permit and owns a .357 S&W !!!
The rules do not apply to her. She like many other "Elitist" are dellusional enough to believe they have a legitimate right to the 2AM and you and I do not !!!
Second. The 2AM is written is as such "A well regulated militia, (and) the right of the people to keep and bear arms" The comma, grammatically speaking, has alway's meant to insert the word "AND" Hence the right of the "PEOPLE" to keep and bear arms. The Leftist have attempted to no avail to try to perform an autopsy on the wording to fit their agenda. NOTE: Recent 500 page book titled "A well regulated Militia" 500 pages to disect a two sentence amendment to the CONUS.
