I don't think the 2nd Amendment is archaic, and I certainly don't think our government has gone away from what the Founders intended. As a whole the Constitution is intact, and like any successful civilization America has changed with the times.
The reason I believe citizens should be allowed to be armed is because I have yet to hear a valid argument for revoking this freedom. Any restriction that is placed upon a people without a valid reason is an unnecessary, and should be abolished. The NFA of 1934 is an example of a restriction with valid support; civilians are not subject to the threat that would require a defense in the form of armor piercing rockets. But I have yet to see a valid reason to ban all guns in general.
