The citizens form a militia not the government. A well regulated militia to me means being at the ready for a tyrannical government. The 2nd amendment wasn't written for bird or deer hunters. With the influx of all kinds of social experimentation in our military it has severely affected the protection of the citizens.
The military is the organization that doesn't seem to be at the ready.
The militia is necessary to the security of a free state.

The States have the right to form a militia to defend itself from the federal government,
as the people have the right to keep and bear arms to defend itself from the State.
Checks and balances,
just as it was written in the Constitution...
The federal government has no right to a standing army, or arms for that matter
A federal army to defend national sovereignty against foreign enemies, never to be used domestically, as per the posse comitatus act...
We've come a long way since the war of 1812.
Give em a inch, the next thing you know, there's a tank on the front lawn.
The problem with power is if you leave it lying around, someone is going to pick it up and start using it for their ends.
Get rid of the US military. Now no one will be tempted to use it.
Get rid of 99.99% of the federal budget. Now no more lobbyists!
