You also have to bear in mind that amendment to the constitution was put in place over 200 years ago. These days an armed citizenry is just as likely to turn on each other than defend themselves. And since when is the US going to be invaded in this day and age? It's far easier to nuke the hell out of a country or convince them they're going to be blown up by some hirsute dark-skinned bloke, dressed in a kaftan and driving a semi loaded with fertiliser.
