I really don't want to sit here long enough to write the full novel that a question like that deserves. But I'll jot down a few thoughts that should give you the general idea.
I believe the Second Amendment means exactly what it says. I'm disgusted at the courts and legislators who have ignored its meaning, and infringed on our right to keep and bear arms. I'm disgusted at the politicians who claim that there should be "reasonable" restrictions on it. I'm disgusted with voters who agree with that.
I don't see what's so difficult about it. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
If you lose either the First or the Second Amendment, you lose the entire Bill of Rights. The People cannot defend any of their rights without both of those Amendments. I cherish the Constitution and all of its Amendments. Each one has its own unique value. They each protect different rights. These two protect not only the rights mentioned in them, but they protect each other, and all the other rights.
Constitutions of other nations tend to be rewritten or replaced from time to time. Ours has endured. I believe that's because of The People's ability to defend it. I see the First and Second Amendments as the two strongest tools we have for doing that.

I don’t know how your teachers would feel, but you’d pass my classes with a A. Social Studies and Language Arts both.
