Sorry Dude...your stupidity is obvious.Your stupidity is obvious? What was the purpose of the 2nd Amendment? The purpose was to give the states the ability to stand up to an oppressive federal government. That meant access to all arms available to the federal government. The Constitution has many protections to an overly powerful federal government. The biggest was the separation of powers.
The purpose of the second amendment is that when you show up to fight the oppressive federal government...that you have a gun to do it with and the state need not provide you with one.
That is why the "well regulated militia" is part of the amendment.
I'll reword it for you.
"Because having a bunch of folks showing up with nothing but shovels and axes isn't going to do the militia a hell of a lot of good...the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
If you would take the time to learn a thing or two, instead of wallowing in ignorance...you might actual not be such an insufferable blowhard.
