It's doesn't say "present army" anywhere, it says "the people".

The people. who were not an army. But crushingly defeated the Brits. That people became an Army. The militia which became the state army. The people do not have to bear arms because the 2nd Amendment is the Armed Forces, but if you need to want to have a mini arsernal of arms in your possession - so be it.

the people had weapons and were thus able to rise up and overthrow a tyrannical power. these same people in forming a new government were just as afraid of a homegrown tyrant. do you really think with that mindset that they would have any desire for all weapons to be held by a force that is an arm of the government?
