The amendment is arguing that the right needs to be protected because a well regulated militia is necessary to preserve the security of a free state.

Applying second amendment protections to a weapon that is a threat to the security of a free state (assuming such a critter exists) isn't contradictory because the amendment doesn't say anything about restricting access to such weapons.

The amendment doesn't say: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed because the security of a free state must be preserved." It says: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed because a well regulated militia is necessary for the security of a free state."

You know, usually it's us pro-gun guys who are accused of trying to ignore the militia part.
