Actually, you may eliminate much of the reason for Second Amendment equivalents in state constitutions from the start easily.
Protecting against the state government turning into a dictatorship or abusing fundamental rights is a very outdated need. Now there are federal rights to people that would call for the involvement of the federal government if citizens from that state complain to the federal courts of such behaviour. Also, back then the federal government did not have much difference in power from that of state government to impose such rights when needed. Now there is no comparison and nobody needs the help of people's ownership of firearms there.
