70. The entire Bill of Rights is about individual rights

that is why it was added to the Constitution in the first place - to make sure the government understood its limitations. Basic civics.

Were you aware that the British had a bill of rights from the 1690s that was the basis of the US Bill of Rights? That when the founding fathers were talking about protecting their rights as Englishmen, that is what they were referring to? And that British bill of rights talks about the right to own and bear arms?

And explain the state constitutions. Why do so many from that era do not link guns to militia service

Connecticut: Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.

Pennsylvania: The right of the citizens to bear arms in defence of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Vermont: That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the State

Rhode Island: The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Maine: Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms for the common defence; and this right shall never be questioned

Kentucky: That the right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Looks like many of the founding fathers thought that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right.
