The Second Amendment basically says that the government is not entitled to a monopoly of arms. It didn't mention anything about a federal or state militia because a militia is a body of citizens organized for military service, not a body of police, soldiers or government conscripts. Albeit we don't have many organized militias, the public could organize as the need arises.

I am endowed, by the Creator, of certain, unalienable rights, as are you.

The bill of rights, and in this case the 2A, simply re-affirms those aformentioned, pre-existing, rights.

Further, I would hold these rights to be self evident, and exercised so, regardless of what tyrannical government espouses.

Further still, I would hold these rights to be self evident even if they would argue against a creator.
