The 2A is clear to me.... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed

What part of requiring someone to obtain a license to bear arms then denying issuance of the license on the basis that the government doesn't rate the need to bear arms worthy enough to issue a license isn't an infringement? Please...

The 2A would need to be re-written - The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall be infringed by the whim of government
