The purpose of the Second Amendment is to arm people in order to prevent future tyranny. They need the tools to do this.
The term "Well Regulated" in the Second Amendment meant "Well Manned and Equipped" in 1791 as was determined in 1939 United States v. Miller case after referencing the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. The concept of Government Regulation, as we understand it today, did not exist at the time.
United States v. Miller also determined that the term "Arms" refers to "Ordinary Military Weapons" (not crew operated). American Citizens have the right to Keep and Bear, which means Own and Carry, any weapon that is legal.
The 2008 Heller v. Washington DC decision reaffirmed that the right to Bear Arms was an individual right. The 2010 McDonald v. Chicago decision reaffirmed it yet again and made it clean that it applies to every state, every city and every town in the United States.
To limit the Second Amendment would be equivalent of limiting the First Amendment to writings in quill pens.
Liberty is worth the risk of death.
We will continue to cling to our "Bibles, guns and OUR Faith in GOD not government."
