The second amendment was never interpreted to guarantee an individual right to a firearm until Antonin Scalia invented one in 2008. Largely as the result of a political movement based on a lot of shoddy, discredited survey research by Gary Kleck and John Lott in the 1990s.
Before then, I could have been prohibited from owning a firearm just for living in D.C. Needless to say, I was not granted a trial prior to moving here.
