Original Note:
It is debated whether the 2nd Amendment gives rights to individuals or solely to militias to bear arms. Only recently, in the 2008 DC vs Heller case, did the Supreme Court affirm it as an individual right. Prior courts had held it was solely a right of militias. https://www.britannica.com/event/District-of-Columbia-v-Heller https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/john-paul-stevens-court-failed-gun-control/587272/
