I imagine when the law was written, just about every able-bodied white male was an active member of a militia. Today we don't have other nations claiming as theirs the same territory we claim as ours.

That is true, but why not amend the Consitution then? If we no longer need people to own guns to keep the British away, wouldn't passing an amendment be the proper way to go, rather than just ignoring the amendment as it was written 200+ years ago?
