The way I see it, the mighty powers of a major military ARE in fact concerned about the puny armaments of individual citizens, else they wouldn’t have been trying to disarm us for the last 80 years or so. One cannot simultaneously argue that private citizens’ arms represent this huge “danger” and that government power is so vastly overwhelming as to make private arms irrelevant.
Further, the second amendment was intended, among other things, to be a counterbalance to government brute force. If the position is that private arms are of no use against the awesome government power today, one could very well take that argument as evidence that the second amendment has been hugely violated. It tends to support the pro gun rights position rather than the anti gun rights position. That is, unless you support the idea of having your government in possession of absolute, overwhelming brute force against its citizens.
