In this view, the Second Amendment did not grant individuals a right to own guns - after all, the States were perfectly free to prohibit guns altogether. It preserved the ability of the States to keep their citizenry armed, so that the States would always have the option to have a military force under their control rather than cede all military power to the newly-created federal government.

Except that this is the argumentative trap that's being applied: Only militia are allowed guns, and since we don't have militia, nobody needs any guns. The problem with that is that it flies in the face of historical precedent and ignores the basic intent of the 2A...which was that Americans are an armed people.
