Here is my take on it:
The "right of the people" is an individual right in the same manner as "the right of the people" in other amendments in the BOR.....(the right of the people to peaceably assemble, the right of the people to be secure in their persons,...)
I think the framers even made that intent clear when they removed the phrase "for the common defense" that was in the original draft of the 2nd amendment (the right of the people to keep and bear arms for the common defense)
The issue for me is if that right is absolute. And I dont believe it is. The government can regulate it.
