Hamilton and Madison both argued that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights were implicitly protected under the Constitution since there were no power granted the government to take them away. This included the Right to Bear arms.
Hence there was no necessity for the 2d amendment at all and thus your statement is false.

"Hence there was no necessity for the 2d amendment at all and thus your statement is false." Please tell us what gun rights would exist without the Second Amendment.
And please tell us why some of the states with the most restrictive gun-control laws do not have a Second Amendment in the State Constitution.
