They used Test Acts passed nearly contemporaneous to state RKBA provisions as evidence that persons potentially dangerous could be disarmed. What they neglected is that all these Test Acts were repealed almost immediately after the war. Some, such as Pennsylvania, only disarmed non-Associators to arm militia. North Carolina did not disarm of pistols and provided for disarming of anyone if arms were needed by militia.
