«The rationale for the Second Amendment is an anachronism. This is true if you look at the narrow language they used ("A well regulated Militia, being necessary…"), and it's also true if you look at the wider context and purposes of the amendment. Not only is a militia no longer necessary, but the whole scheme we use for our national defense is a gigantic violation of the principles the amendment sought to preserve and protect.»
There's a couple of good disagreements to be had with this, but it's not exactly wrong.
