Beyond that if you look at the initial Militia Act, the purpose is
completely clear. Every man of age (18yo) was required to own the most
common firearm of the time along with some ammo. It was definitely not
for hunting but for common defense. I don't think anyone involved in
the discussion of the second amendment had any inclination to tether it
to any government body, because at the time, it was obvious that has
that right... which is why it's defined as a *right* to bear arms.
