I'm Canadian so obviously yours is better and than ours when it comes to freedom. But why is there so many words in that amendment?

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.

Seems that the first part of the sentence can be used to justify infringing the the latter part. What type of regulation did the founding fathers had in mind?
