First, the United States of America is not a Democracy, it is a Republic. It is overseen by a constitution. This is the 2nd amendment to that constitution which was added before the constitution itself was ratified as were all the first ten amendments.
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.
Changes to this cannot be made by a simple majority vote of the People or their elected representatives, it requires a new amendment be done. This amendment is plainly written & straight forward, there is no logical reason anyone should misunderstand it. The "People" are the citizens of the USA. Their Right to "Keep & Bear Arms" Shall Not Be Infringed.
