If one really wants to know the intention of the founders, it’s easy to find. In libraries and on line. Starting with the AofC.
Articles of Confederation in Article 6 Reads:
“Every state shall always keep up a well-regulated and disciplined militia, sufficiently armed and accoutered, and shall provide and constantly have ready for use, in public stores … a proper quantity of arms, ammunition, and camp equipage.”
There was opposition by many of having to store their weapons for use in the militia in a public store instead at their homes. This is the primary reason to “keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” was added in Amendment 2. But they also kept a “well regulated militia” after removing “well disciplined.”
The first draft on June 8, 1789 by James Madison read, “The right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country
but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.”
I highlighted the conscientious objector clause because that puts it all in perspective. The right was intended for MILITARY PURPOSES ONLY.
There were other wording changes, mostly by southern states who were concerned how it would effect blacks having guns as well as the slavery patrols, their version of militias. That’s probably why the conscientious objector clause was removed.
