and they did not do so interchangeably. If they had meant for gun ownership to be an individual right, they would have used "persons," or "person" as they did elsewhere. But they didn't. An originalist interpretation would not regard the 2nd Amendment as conferring an individual right to own a firearm, but would leave it to the States.
In 2012, SCOTUS reinterpreted the 2nd Amendment's "people" as meaning individuals, and created a individual right against state and local gun regulation that did not previously exist.
