Which means the Government could stipulate all firearm owners be required to use a certain gun which operates according to regulations and they show proper proficiency to use said gun.

Enjoy your government issued muzzle loader.

It is reasonable to say that the founders in no way envisioned the implications of widespread semi-automatic gun ownership combined with high population density, because that’s undeniably true. The Amendment, however, is worded in such a way that the right to bear arms becomes a prerequisite for a well functioning militia, which is purported to be a necessity for a free state.

In the here and now, we either decide that the amendment is flawed and needs rewriting, or we allow wiggle room for the definition of “arms.”
