The goal of the 2nd amendment is to have armed people with guns that
can be
called up and used in military activities by the government.  There is
nothing about self-defense nor protecting oneself against government
oppression in the amendment.  Regardless the amendment is clear that
Americans get to have guns.  

A majority of the Supreme Court disagrees with you.

The militia back in the day was composed of all able-bodied males. The
point of the amendment is that the people have a right to defend
themselves.
