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.

Which was established before the concept of a federal American military, so the militia would've been all American men.
Now that we have a military, the amendment becomes outdated as the force securing the "free State" (American) is not the population as a whole, but merely the military.
