They didn’t even mention individuals having the rights to own guns, but god damn they had to add that one to the second amendment through the courts.
"A well regulated militia"
Back then that meant a gun group with regular training, any civillian in the militia could also own guns for private use
Militias are armed citizens...
My point is that the courts have been taking the most generous possible interpretations of the 2nd amendment.
An individual is not a militia, yet every citizen can own a gun based on the generous interpretation of the courts. Even if you aren’t in a well organized militia.
Open carry? They read the 2nd amendment and thought it said individuals should be allowed to open carry for any reason at all.
These are generous interpretations of the second amendment. But for the first amendment, the courts are much more eager to limit rights.
Can you explain your position? Honest question, because if I just take your post "Militias are armed citizens" I can use logic to know that to be false. Militia can be comprised of armed citizens, but armed citizens are not militia....

I had no idea Karl Marx was an author of the constitution of the United States! Wow! Thanks!
