seeing as how a "well regulated militia" cannot be defined by even the biggest nutjob as "everyone and his brother gets a gun and there's no organizational structure to it whatsoever," that idea is fundamentally flawed.
Additionally, when you consider the intent of the framers (which is a valid legal measure used by con-law interpreters such as judges all the time) you realize that the framers never intended to let anyone get hold of an uzi. This ammendment was clearly meant to allow for well regulated militias (hint - if you don't even get together as a militia to practice, ever, then you're not a well regulated anything) to have muskets. It was not meant to allow urban gangs to have assault rifles.
