Your right to defend yourself and property. Essentially the .gov does not have the authority to deprive you of any 'arms' they may issue or use. At least level the playing field to keep the .gov from having an advantage if tyranny were ever to rear it's ugly head. Which they assumed would eventually and repeatedly happen. It's also considered inalienable which means it can not ever be taken. At the time it was just assumed and even writing it did not make sense to the laymen. But being a wise bunch of freedom lovers who were thinking about you and I, knew that at some point in time some power hungry tyrant would attempt to say differently so they wrote just to make sure.
