The very first court case to declare that the 2nd amendment was not an individual right was the kansas state supreme court in City of Salina v. Blaksley. Up until that time, there isn't a single case out there before 1905 that even hints at that. The 'collective rights' idea would have been laughed at before then. Since then, numerous anti-gun courts and politicians have pushed hard to rewrite the second amendment through the courts. Hell, you even have presidents right up in to the early 60s that still spoke of the 2nd amendment as an individual right.
