You are forgetting about McDonald v. Chicago (Decided a year or so after Heller) which incorporated the 2nd Amend onto the States.

Not to mention Blackstone Commentaries (Natural Law etc...) and the earliest Constitutional commentators saying that States trying to infringe upon the "right to bear arms" was not consistent with the intent.

"The prohibition is general. No clause in the constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both." -- William Rawle, 'A View of the Constitution of the United States', Pennsylvania Assembly who voted to ratify the BOA and later was appointed US District Attorney for Pennsylvania by Washington.

This was the standard thinking until the convoluted reasoning of United States v. Cruikshank came along.

You are forgetting about McDonald v. Chicago (Decided a year or so after Heller) which incorporated the 2nd Amend onto the States.

The McDonald case mirrored the Heller decision in that the Court ruled that the 2nd Amendment only protects a right to possess a firearm in the home for lawful uses such as self-defense. It does not prevent reasonable restrictions on firearm ownership being enacted by the state or local governments. Basically neither Heller nor McDonald guarantees a right to possess any firearm, anywhere, and for any purpose.
