It actually was the nra lobbying that changed public and legal interpretation.
Owning a gun does little against tyranny.
But a state militia does.
That’s what it actually meant.
The Second Amendment consists of just one sentence: “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
Well some historians say the 2nd amendment isn’t about guns, which everyone already had back then, but says states should have their own military.
“Bear arms” means militarization. Not owning a gun. But using a gun.

If not for that comma this would be a lot easier to understand.
That comma is a point of much debate.
Doesn’t seems like it say “firearm” as well, so right to bear arm could just mean having a bear as a friend.
Or just his arms, but bears ain’t got no arms therefore you get no rights.
