> They would have been fine with it. The second amendment guarantees states the right to form armed militias (or to put it in modern terms, armed police forces). It wasn't intended to give every individual the right to own guns for their own private use. That's a modern reinterpretation.
That is blatantly false. The original poster is quite literally lying,
"The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
