Here's my quick and simple interpretation of the Second Amendment:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

An armed militia is necessary to ensure the security of the free USA. Hence, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. Denying the right of the people to bear arms does away with the militia, hence, doing so can compromise the security of the free USA.
