Original Note:
The individual rights interpretation is not a modern idea. Thomas Cooley, justice and law professor, wrote in 1880: "It may be supposed...that the right to keep and bear arms was guaranteed only to the militia; but this would be an interpretation not warranted by the intent." https://books.google.com/books?id=VDoet4piIGsC&pg=RA2-PA298#v=onepage&q&f=false
