I think you are looking at this wrong. The two companies challenged the law under the interstate commerce clause NOT under the under the 2nd Amendment. The interstate commerce clause has been so abused that the Congress just mumbles something about the interstate commerce clause and the majority of the time the courts let it go.

That's a good point. I don't like any infringements. If your troops are tied up elsewhere, doesn't it stand to reason the populace could still be called on to defend the nation? Of course it does. And it ticks me off to see the courts take step after step to prevent us from defending ourselves.
