Sorry, I can't help you there -Uh, so you believe that when the colonists came into North America, into unknown lands, that we came unarmed into a unknown and dangerous frontier? Why did King George demand confiscation of all firearms, to never give them back? Why worry about colonial firearms and seize them if they weren't prevalent. Did colonists not hunt? Were they all vegetarians. I think the burden of proof is on you to back your claim given the contrary evidence in early colonial America.
No, American's didn't fight over it, until it become a divisive political tool.
Speculation and hyperbole don't fair well in any logical discussion.
I've argued that the 2A's primary purpose is defense from a tyrannical gov't. Self defense is a secondary attribute that comes from the 2A. Along with the 2A, state constitutions, at the forming of the constitution also, back up the 2A, and a few states, are more specific when providing the right of citizens to be armed.
