However, the specific context in which the 2A was negotiated was The Richmond Convention, called for the purpose of deciding whether to ratify the new Constitution.

The South, particularly Virginia, needed to find a way to forever prevent a Northern-controlled Congress from DIS-arming its militias, An amendment did the trick. The South definitely need its militias to enforce slavery.

And once slavery was eliminated, the purpose of the 2A disappeared.

And for other purposes beyond this narrow interes projected as the totality of intent. Once "established":

And once slavery was eliminated, the purpose of the 2A disappeared.

Classic libtard spin.
