2nd amendment history

So often heard is “Why would Founding Fathers want people to have arms? The 2A is obviously about state militias!”
Well, here is correspondence from the Revolution which shows why.
The Continental Army couldn’t arm recruits, and recruits showed up unarmed.

Four guns for 100 men!

It’s a constant refrain. Arms needed. Cartridges and lead needed.
