Wait until the courts rule that as long as a state has a national guard unit or state guard then the 2A is fulfilled.
Yeah, they could, and would, interpret "the Right of the people to bear arms" to mean the collective people, not individual citizens. Even though it is insanely clear from their writings what the founders meant.

“The people” aren’t private citizens? I mean, dude. FYI, the SCOTUS has expressly ruled that the 2d Amendment does in fact grant an individual private citizen a right to keep and bear arms, and the majority rejected the argument you made about a militia. If Dems get a majority, they would likely rule as you say, despite that such a ruling would be contrary to the plain language of the amendment and not supportable.

The "plain language" doesn't say anything about private citizens tho.
Militia doesn't mean private citizens either. They are an organized part of the military.

Let it gooooooooooooo
What are you talking about? It says ”the right of THE PEOPLE . . . “ The people ARE private citizens. Therefore, it says quite a lot about private citizens. Namely, that their right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.Interpretations change.
