Does the right to bear arms extend to all Americans or only "A well regulated militia?"

According to how the amendment reads, these arms could legally be stored in Armories ( funny how the country is full of National Guard Armories, most of them converted to other uses), and dispensed as needed for Militia training, or for use in military action.
The government does not need to "confiscate" army style rifles, it just needs to start regulating the militia.
I believe that the people meant white males, and possibly even property owning white males, at the time the amendment was written.
A similar system exists in Switzerland. Are Americans willing to accept some discipline in order to maintain their freedom?
