    Correct, the purpose of the second amendment was to allow states to form well regulated militias as a check on a standing federal army. As such, the court held for 200 years that states had the right to individually regulate such militias, including how they were armed.

    The idea that the constitution intended to establish the individual right for vigilantes and terrorists and delusional John Wick wannabes to own weapons is laughably incorrect.
