Unless you can point me to a time anywhere/anytime in the US where you were required to be in a militia to own firearms?

Surely the original authors knew what they meant, did they start enforcing you to be in a militia after it passed?

The fact that is in the "Bill of Rights" ought to be a big clue that it is a individual right.
