Depends which Federalist paper you read. I think the key ones (forget which numbers now) refer to states raising their own militias, and that the federal should not be able to interfere with that. Hence, the first thirteen words of the 2A. Heller (through Scalia) basically said "they didn't really mean that", and we now have the mess we have. And it won't be fixed in my lifetime, likely.

This is all further complicated by the Reconstruction Amendments which -roughly- said that the Constitution also applies to the states, which means that states are affected by 2A now. They weren't previously. I suspect that was an unintended consequence in what otherwise was a worthy set of amendments.
