So, there's two questions, right? If you want to talk about whether that's constitutional, that's certainly a valid q. But, that's a separate question from whether it's good policy. Are you implicitly conceding that it would be good policy for only the police to have guns?
No, as a libertarian I support #2A, because I think it deters oppression by a police state.

The Iraqi population is heavily armed, and that doesn't seem to be deterring oppression by their police state. Why not? The population of the CSA was armed, and that didn't prevent oppression of them by the CSA government. Why not?

Police states maintain power because they have the political support of the public. This idea that an armed population will prevent it is a myth that has no basis in history or political science.
