Again, why wouldn't the framers have just said "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is they hadn't intended it to be related to the requirements of a well regulated militia?

They did.
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The part about the militia is NOT a limitation, it's an expansion. It's specifically granting the right for militia's to exist. Basically, you can't have a militia without a right to bear arms. But you can have the right to bear arms without having militias.
