    We know that the intent of the 2nd amendment was to make sure if the government got out of line we could put in a new one

    We know no such thing. That is intent and other text only view of the law it can not be used.

    Secondly even if we did know the intent it was for standing state armies to deal with the federal army. Not Regular people

      gonna have to disagree. 2A was established because we had to fight in the revolutionary war. We literally did the exact thing that lead to 2A being necessary. If we peacefully broke off from England then maybe 2A wouldn’t be in the constitution.
