Clayton Cramer, Nick Johnson, and George Mocsary have an article forthcoming in the George Mason Law Review, entitled 'This Right is Not Allowed by Governments that are Afraid of the People': The Public Meaning of the Second Amendment When the Fourteenth Amendment was Ratified." It's an interesting treatment of how perceptions of the right to arms expanded and became more individualistic over 1789-1866, largely as a result of attacks on abolitionists.
An excellent article that anyone interested in the Second and Fourteenth Amendments should read.
