Isn't this the first court case stating that the 2nd Amendment applies to individuals?

Hardly, but the gun-grabbers have managed to brainwash a lot of 2A defenders into believing there have been no cases upholding the individual right. I would strongly suggest that you READ the Supreme Court's U.S. v. Miller decision, focusing on what the actual holding was, and read up on the circumstances surrounding the fact that its remand to the lower court was never carried out. Gun-grabbers are fond of citing this case as supporting their claims, but in fact it does just the opposite.

If anything, it says that if any arms ARE protected, it's those that the military uses, e.g. M-16s and M-60s. So when people cite Miller to support an AWB, they twist things oppositely to what was intended. (As usual.)

i have a copy of the Miller decision on my website that includes most of the court documents surrounding the case.

You are absolutely right about that.
