I’m going to slightly disagree here — while the 2nd Amendment’s “the people” could indeed refer to the Citizen it could also refer to humans in general... and, in fact, there is a good argument as to why it should be the most wide reading possible: because that would be the most restriction on government. Statutory citizenship can be unilaterally rescinded and the 14th Amendment makes everyone born in the US (and under its jurisdiction) into a statutory citizen.
If, then, the government is allowed to say that the 2nd amendment’s guarantee to “the people” refers only to the citizen, there can be enacted laws which automatically strip statutory citizenship from people and therefore legally strip them of their 2nd Amendment protections. — I don’t know about you, but I think the greatest dangers to the American people right now are its government[s].
