Unfortunately people tend to forget or were never taught that the people have natural rights they still retain even if they aren't referenced in the bill of rights, and that indeed that was one of the main arguments against the bill of rights in the first place (that the government would see the incomplete list and think those were all we had, which is a repudiation of the foundations of the American system). Only one of such rights is the right of self defense, being independent from the right of a militia to keep and bear arms in defense against tyranny. In other words, you could remove the second amendment and the people would still have the right to bear arms.
