It was a collective self defense that they were concerned with....Yes, it's used by us who believe in the right to carry our guns, but the court only rules on the constitutionality, not the reasons for exercising it.
Furthermore you can find quotes of our founders on the subject and even debates where self-defense was part of the debate. You will never find a debate on abortion when any of our amendments were written.
An individual self defense right is NOT written IN THE CONSTITUTION....
Edit!
It doesn't mean we don't have a right to individual self defense, it is just not specifically mentioned!
Like all the aspects of our right to privacy and autonomy are not specifically mentioned
