Yes, but I'm just trying to understand what your new thought was. Was it so that the people could defend themselves from the militia (being made up of the people) if they felt the need to?

Yes, exactly. They didn't trust any authority and the bill of rights was to assuage those fears. Militia is made up of some of the people
By the way, 2005, US population = 296,410,404, victims of all violent crime = 1,390,695. that's why I'm not scared.
