So then you’re claiming “the People” of the 2d are different than the “the People” of the 10th? That the 10th only applies to those “People” who bear arms in the militia?

No. They're the same.

The 10th applies to "the people". As does the 2nd. And the 4th. As does Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution.

"The people" refers to a group -- esentially the voters; those with a connection to the country. Those with "full" rights. The enfranchised body politic.

It does not mean every person, if that's what you're getting at. What are you getting at?
