The 2nd amendment had its place and time, but it needs to be revised for modern times.

The people have the right to defend themselves, against a tyrannical government, and defend themselves, period.

Back in the day, King George's army had muskets, and we had muskets. There was a balance of power, that gave the people an advantage, if they chose to use it wisely. Today, Tyranny is not going to show its ugly face through armed suppression of the people, it is going to take the form of a combination of psychological measures, facilitated by technology. An AR-15, isn't going to be much useful there.

This, will be backed by airplanes, aircraft carriers, tanks, missiles, drones, etc, so our best bet, is to exercise our voting rights wisely, because that's the only defense mechanism we have against the government.

As to self-defense, sure, probably don't need an AR-15 for that, but how else are you going to compensate for your tiny penis?
