Define “the people”. For works of it’s time, it is broadly used to mean both individuals and an elected government. You’re utilizing one definition of a term that never had concrete meaning, so your reasoning is both imprecise and potentially erroneous. |

It is hard to see why a state would feel the need to include the government's ability to own weapons at all, let alone in a document listing rights and protections for individual citizens. Furthermore, the statements already draw a distinction between the people and an army controlled by the government.
