How would you define your terms? Individual vs collective rights, specifically.

I think of the individual right as just that. The individual has the right. The collective right belongs to the State, so as in the case of the 2A the state can designate the militia, and the "right of the people" is referring to a collective right wielded by the state for the people collectively. So the state can make the determination as to who can keep and bear arms, and who is in the militia. But it could be different than that. Make sense?
