Sanity Check: Was Virginia's "2nd Amendment" re: Individual or Collective Defense?

[Hugh Damright]

Is the following declaration from Virginia's 1776 Bill of Rights regarding individual self-defense or collective self-defense?

That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free State; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
