By your logic then freedom of speech, religion and assembly would only apply to white males. It is obvious this is not the case so stop the tortured verbal contortions. “The People” is construed to mean the same for all of the Constitution, not just how you want to dance around with it specifically for the Second Amendment.

No. That's not how the first amendment reads. Freedom of speech, the press, religion apply to all.

Freedom of assembly and the ability to petition the government were reserved to "the people".
