The 2nd amendment has been bolstered by a Supreme Court ruling which as of June 26, 2008 has gone in the direction of allowing people to posses firearms. In a country where freedom is a given in the constitution and where the expectation is that you go out and make your own life by your own efforts, this is expected. If you have to rely on the ppolice for protection, then you are in real trouble. Yes, there should be police who back up the rule of law. Yes, a citizen should be able to defend himself against any normal force another citizen can bring to bear. So if he chooses to bear arms, he can. But in so doing he has added responsibility along the lines of safety and in assisting others who need his additional force.

I saw the movie "Dragonheart" where the code of a knight plays an important part in the movie. There is mention of the sword being used to protect the weak against the strong. Thus the firearm would be used to the same purpose.

Here is a video on the subject of the 2nd amendment and the DC gun ban:
