There's apparently been more research done on the meaning of "bear arms" "back in the day". It's a field called corpus linguistics. The "new" evidence suggests that "bear arms" was much more commonly applied in the context of a militia than not! I thought this was a good 8 minute discussion of that - https://youtu.be/AT2jMJk1akA

No. That's old and was covered in Heller. The Justices made light of the linguistics approach. But the data base accessed to support that interpretation is huge, nothing to take lightly. Yhey had a search term criticism too..
