Nope, "shall not be infringed" has nothing to do with need.
It has other word too, like ... being necessary to ...
Right, the people being armed is necessary to maintain a free state. The right is inalienable. The need is only if you wish to remain free, which is up to the individual.
It doesn't matter what you think might be needed to remain free. It doesn't matter if you wish to be subjugated, the right of the people to be armed is one we're born with and it shall not be infringed. There is no need that has to be established because it's a right.
You're reading that into it and being merely an NRA propoganda scholar and not a Con Law scholar.
If you beat your wife, you'll lose your gun rights, which have nothing to do with your need to be free and everything to do with keeping the state safe.
