the 2nd Amendment was intended to protect the right of each state to have its own “well regulated militia.”

I'll bite. How can we have a well regulated militia without superior firepower?

They don't even win that argument.

Please read the Second Amendment and apply the commas, which are clearly separating two rights, not just the militia. The second being the people, having right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Those are two rights, both (by comma) shall not be infringed. See Second Amendment in bright blue square in link.
