"A well regulated milita being necessary to the maintenance of a free state," means that there might be some regulations pertaining to the militia itself. It says nothing about guns.
"the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." means that there are no infringements on the rights of the citizenry to have arms - of any kind - though for obvious reasons the principal ones under consideration are guns.
