It seems pretty apparent from the questioning that a majority is inclined to rule the 2nd is an individual right. The big question is going to be to what degree it can be regulated. After all, no rights under the constitution are completely absolute. Governments can require permits for assemblies, property can be zoned for certain uses, free speech doesn't allow you to incite a riot, etc. So will it require a “strict scrutiny” protection (as in free speech), or a lower standard of scrutiny to overturn laws regulating firearms?

No other amendment says, “Shall not be infringed.”
