That it didn't exist is not really that relvant. I.e. the US classified secrecy as a munition so under the US' framing it is a 2nd amendment right necessary to balance power between people and government.. Take it away from all and it is no longer essential.

Has this framing ever actually been tested in court? Between the dramatic re-interpretation of the 2nd as a collective non-right and the precedent of laws like ITAR and other munitions controls I can't imagine this would hold up.

Remember the 90s cryptowars and the "illegal shirts with math on them"?

Yeah that was largely about export controls vs freedom of speech, I don't know of any actual court case involving the second amendment a la https://xkcd.com/504/

Has anyone used the 3rd amendment to argue against the government forcing them to include backdoors and surveillance mechanisms?
