    When It Was Written they were worried that US Army would be busy and the slave rebellion wouldn’t be able to put down without a local militia

    You’re thinking of cops. And yes, cops are not well regulated.

      Where do you think cops came from? They largely grew out of slave catcher Patrols. State organized groups of armed men, ie exactly what Patrick Henry wanted.
