I don't think we should get caught up in this "either or" type argument. {Collective vs. Individual}.I believe the founding fathers claim both. How is the individual to resist tyranny unless he works together with his fellow citizen?
The right is reserved for, but not restricted to the individual. I don't think anyone here would dispute need for guns by our military or police agencies.
They do, it's a false distinction.
Assuring the individual right assured the militia too. Clever of Madison.
