Your views on the second amendment as a state-run militia/the national guard then imply by default that the amendment in question reflects a "right of the government and not the people"

Have you really thought that out?

Well, you know...we can't have "the people" running around with these "assault books." Obviously, the First Amendment was really about the right of the states to write things about the federal government. :-)

Of course it hasn't thought out what differs from an individual and a government...
