Actually, if you read the case law, you will find that the Second Amendment has not been applied to individual gun ownership, NRA rhetoric aside. In fact, there was a big stink raised when Ashcroft said that it was now the government's position that it did.
Relax, I don't care if you have a gun or not. I'm just pointing out that it is not as cut and dried as the NRA and others would have you believe. The courts have yet to decide whether or not individual gun ownership is covered by the Second Amendment.
