Craigclev,
You've got it completely backwards. Shame on you for spreading such disinformation.
The second amendment is one of the bill of rights. The bill of rights was crafted after the Constitution was finished, because some of the Founders became concerned that the Federal government would be too powerful. So the intent of the bill of rights was to state, for the record, that it is the People who have the rights, not government.
Our militia was the People, i.e. citizen soldiers. As citizen soldiers, it would have been obviously redundant to state that it was our right to keep and bear arms to protect ourselves from another tyrannical government. The Constitution describes the raising of an army.
