"The ruling puts the court at odds with 10 of the 11 other federal appeals courts, which have ruled that bearing arms is a just a collective right, meant only to ensure that the civilians who serve in state militias are armed."

If this is true then the other 10 federal appeals courts are manned by totally dumb idiots that cannot read the Constitution and have violated their oath of office.

More likely, many of those other cases turned on other issues, making the "collective right" aspect what lawyers call "dicta," which is of no legal import.
