If the prefatory clause means anything--which it might!--it defines the scope of the term "arms" as "stuff civilians would use and bring to a militia callup"

Scalia was a dipshit who mistook being snide for competent legal reasoning, but in that instant he was right

As a (paper) member I actually don't think quarantining idiots with bad opinions and worse political instincts on a *committee* is good strategy. Esp. something like "International" that grabs headlines.
Candidly, if they're worth quarantining, they're worth tossing out.
