It was written as a means of giving the people to overthrow the government if need be. Today civilian arms are like taking a BB gun to the OK corral. The American people still need to have the "ability" to overthrow the government in order to keep our rights in check from politicians of dubious character. Today more than any time in history our government is taking away our abilities to defend ourselves against them.
You know you're right, why aren't the people allowed to have nukes? I demand my right to bombs like the military has because we were allowed cannons once.

Yes, no doubt.

Try and organize a militia today, training them in domestic tactical warfare.


Guess what is going to happen, if the feds catch wind of that.

Arms are not specified in the 2nd amendment.
Meaning, we use what ever it takes to suppress oppressive tyranny.

Freedom is very scary for those that have none.

But it's not like every law that gets passed by Congress goes first to the SCOTUS to be judged constitutional. This only happens if an individual case makes it to the Supreme Court. Because what does a court do? It determines whether someone violated the law. If there seems to be a contradiction between laws, they have to defer to the highest law, the Constitution.

Not much from what I can see. Stay in the boonies and you're good to go.
