Look here is the point about the second amendment.
If it is found that guns are only meant for militias by the supreme court, which is unlikely but which is the most accurate translationof the second amendment. It would not outlaw guns. It would only make the ability to legally carry a gun open to state and federal laws. The constitution does not make laws it only protects rights and defintes which laws could be made.
Whether guns reduce crime increase crime or do nothing for it has no bearing on whether the right is constitutional period. The only thing those arguments can do is sway the supreme court on an amendment which is vaguely worded.
