Also, when the Constitution was written, it made the formation of a standing army unconstitutional. The congress were concerned it could be used by the government as an instrument of tyranny, as they saw the British Army. They envisaged a continuation of the use of militias, so arming bears was a necessity. Once they decided they should have an army, and changed the Constitution to allow it, one could argue the 2nd Ammendment effectively became redundant
