you’ve got it backwards. gun control from the beginning has been about racists keeping guns out of the hands of uppity blacks.

The 2A was so that the Federal gov’t wouldn’t have a standing army. That went out the window really quickly when a Federal force under the first president had to be raised to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. At the time, the 2A should have been repealed or rephrased at least. Don’t forget that one of the jobs of the US gov’t, as defined in The Constitution (which admittedly, doesn’t mean much now when we have a president who is clearly does not qualify under the 14th Amendment), is to put down domestic violence.

2A is supposed to facilitate millitias in case England attacks again.

Guns can have multiple uses.
The American Revolutionary War literally started over the attempted seizure of guns by a government that feared its subjects could use them in an uprising.
