We have a proper military now; this no longer applies. Unless you're planning on overthrowing the government.
Wow, that sounds so facist. Who are you to say it no longer applies? If the government gets out of line and no one has guns, there's nothing to keep them in check.

"the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." There's no asterik there stating that it doesn't apply if the government has a military.
