The comma is there in the constitution - removing it removes much of the ambiguity that resides in the amendment, and changes the meaning. Please make sure the punctuation matches what's really in the constitution.
It might be interesting to provide links from (or to) the second amendment and the Gun Control issue.
I restored the version with the commas exactly as they appear in the manuscript at the national archives. Yes, the US GPO actually reprints it with more modernized punctuation, but since there are so many pedantic asses out there who like to prattle on about what a comma here or there means, it's important that we be historically accurate even if our own government printing office isn't. --

The External Link is, in my opinion, misleadingly described. The link is to a polemic which does include some quotes, in the main only tangentially relevant, from founding fathers.
I would simply delete the link but, recognizing this is a hot area, thought I would ask first.
