This came up on another pro-2A list I'm on. I would really like to
know how valid this is and any counter argument.
We know that the first gun control was put in place during
Reconstruction to keep freed slaves from having guns, but I've never
heard this about the ratification.

The real reason for the Second Amendment's ratification was to preserve
