6. Why not just restore centuries of federal court precedent?

Advocates of collective rights models argued that the Second Amendment was written to prevent the federal government from disarming state militias, rather than to secure an individual right to possess firearms.

Prior to 2001, every circuit court decision that interpreted the Second Amendment endorsed the "collective right" model.

And in 2001, that first change was in the Fifth Circuit. With judges that had been appointed by Reagan and Bush Sr.

7. Inspired by Lawrence Tribes

to over-turn gun control laws. Gun-control used to be a conservative goal, with Richard Nixon's Chief Justice stating "The individual right to bear arms is the greatest falsehood ever foisted upon the American people".

12. If you read James Madison and contextual history it seems the reason for the second amendment

was to provide for a militia as opposed to a standing army. This, too, was a consequence of shays rebellion and the whiskey revolt. Both taxation and insurrection issues of the era. No where is there an indication that that an armed citizenry was for the purpose of repelling a federal government.

The very reason for the constitutional construction and creation was due to the weak nature of the confederacy that states were wallowing in.
