I'm shocked that the US Government can track firearms in the first place as it undermines the purpose of the second amendment.

The definition of "shall not be infringed" gets smaller every day. In some states it has pretty much disappeared.

Does the militia clause limit the right of ordinary American citizens to own firearms? Is every citizen a potential militia member?

No. This is a question of basic English grammar - to read it any other way one has to be trying to confirm their agenda.

> Is every citizen a potential militia member?

Yes. I could go out an join a militia today if I so desired. So could you.
