ARTICLE I.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
ARTICLE 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.
I'd say that 'shall make no law' is a clear as 'shall not be infringed' and
pretty equivalent in meaning.
See, no shit-storm (they reserve that for me...;).
