Original Note:
The Constitution never provided for the government to arm the militia. The Milita Act of 1792 specifically required the militia members to arm themselves (something that can only be achieved with an individual right to bear arms) & curbed Presidential authority over them. https://www.mountvernon.org/education/primary-source-collections/primary-source-collections/article/militia-act-of-1792/#:~:text=The%20Militia%20Act%20of%201792,to%20call%20out%20the%20militia.
