It is no longer important in the way that the Amendment once meant.... to protect a state which had no formal army,and which was only newly independent. The possibility that the British might come back was a thought at the back of the mind when that Amendment was enacted - but now that there is a proper army, the "militia' mentioned is not required, and doesn't exist anyway.
