'The right to bear arms was one of the reasons that they fought the Revolution'
And so? Revolutions in various parts of the world come and they go, and the constitutions they throw up are shaped by the fashions of the time, and couched in the language of the day.
All rights have limits, when they run up against other rights. Myself I think it'd probably be more helpful to think in terms of a universal right to do anything, subject to a set of universal social duties which place constraints on that right.
