How does the Second Amendment to the US Constitution guarantee an individual the right to armed self-defense?

Asked by Strauss (23635points) January 26th, 2022

US Constitution, Amendment II:

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.

Looking at the words used, I see nothing said or implied concerning individual self defense, only that of the State.
