The right to bear arms (as civilians), imposes upon citizens, the duty to bear arms (whilst defending our nation and/or land)....
Original meaning was to allow citizens to organize and defend our nation as required...(and still is)...at any time and on short notice.......therefore, they must have the right to own and bear arms when needed...........
Also to organize and stand up against an oppressive regime......since our forefathers came from that type of regime, they wanted all the bases covered......
Also: "Any person that will trade ANY freedom for ANY security, deserves neither"........Benjamin Franklin.......
