Follow the Money or You'll Be Led by the Nose2AGuy, you nailed this as the very reason we have a 2nd Amendment. All of the excuses of the States and the Courts, even the Heller, McDonald, and Bruen Supreme Courts, making up lies about the historical traditions of gun control, all lies, to pretend that the Statutes of Northampton are the basis and allow infringements - and they're wrong on both points, Northampton is not the basis and nothing in Northampton suggests or implies any history in the US or in England of banning any weapons or the carrying of any weapons.
The right to keep and bear arms came to the forefront of the Founders' attention because of the attacks on Concord and Lexington, and the entire war afterwards. We didn't inherit a British right; we rejected the law of the King and created a new law that recognized a God-given right, just as the rights were described in the Declaration of Independence.
The Founding Fodder, cheapskate plutocrats, didn't want to pay for a standing army. That's the hidden reason behind the Second Amendment. Even with guns, Americans on the frontier weren't armed well enough to protect themselves.
After the Republicans' White-Replacement war, the Army was reduced from a million men to 25,000. The Northern sweatshop plutocracy cared only about destroying the Southern plutocracy and left the plebeians out West at the mercy of bloodthirsty savages. That's why Custer had to go into battle so pitifully undermanned.
