Wouldn't the language be more about the right to form an armed militia shall not be infringed if this is about militia's only?

The way it is stated it seems to me it is saying that the right for men to bear arms shall not be infringed so that a militia (which is necessary to keep the authority of a free state) can be formed when needed to maintain that security.

How would a militia form if citizens had no right to bear arms?
