I think it's important to understand the likely reason for the second amendment. While it's important for self defense I think one of the major reasons it was included is that an armed population of citizens can never truly be ruled by tyranny. The founding fathers likely wanted it as a way to keep the government in check by the threat of an armed populace if they tried anything.
