I take exception to your statement "Armed civilians aren't what will keep the US military from taking over the country, so I don't think we need to be arming ourselves for that purpose".  Our military is us, and I have significant problem with the idea that us would start killing us at the behest of some corrupt government.  Civilian control of the military has never been tested when the "enemy" is us.  We have very intelligent folks leading the military and I believe that we are not Syria.

The founders of this great nation were exceptionally forward thinking.  The second amendment is not about personal defense or hunting.  It is about keeping our government in check.  And that is not outdated.
