Original Note:
3 reasons were debated by Founders before passing 2nd Amend: 1. Fears federal govt would disarm citizen militias; 2. A collective right in the context of state-regulated militias; and 3. Preserving state militias in order to crush slave rebellions & capture runaways. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/nra-lawsuit-gives-scotus-chance-confront-2nd-amendments-roots-racism-2021-10-22/
