When the 2A was written... citizens could own cannon. It was cannon that the Brit Regulars marched on Lexington to sieze. Cannon were in the hands of Privateers funded by merchants aboard the Baltimore Clippers and regular merchant vessels of the day.
Up until 1936... it was legal to own a fully automatic firearm w/o any 'license' whatever. All this recentgun controlpanicstuff began when John Kennedy was shot.... 'n it's snowballed.
