Given that authoritized well regulated present day state militias are issued standardized arms, it can be argued that the 2nd is an anachronistic obsolescent portion of the Constitution with no clear present day purpose, other than a justification for armed insurrection for any grievance against authority.
Because the proposition provides reasoning for the stated enumerated right. You can't raise a militia from a disarmed public. If government is providing the weapons then it's a military, not a militia.
