True. But the second amendment only protects the members of "a well regulated Militia" and Article I, Section 8 reads that the militia will be organized, armed and disciplined by Congress with officers appointed by the state.

That's not an individual or collective "right to keep and bear arms", it's a state power to arm or disarm citizens at will. Why would you want that?

"it's a state power to arm or disarm citizens at will. Why would you want that?"

That's the same question the Founders asked themselves. So they wrote the second aamendment to prevent the federal government from infringing the ability of a state to arm themselves and form a Militia.
