Why We Can't Ignore the "Militia" Clause of the Second Amendment | Mises Wire

Fearful that a large federal military could be used to destroy the freedoms of the states themselves, Anti-Federalists and other Americans fearful of centralized power in the US government designed the Second Amendment accordingly. It was designed to guarantee that the states would be free to raise and train their own militias as a defense against federal power, and as a means of keeping a defensive military force available to Americans while remaining outside the direct control of the federal government.

This is about having a well trained well equipped state militia. Which we do in the states. They are called National Guards for various states.
