Some believe this applies strictly to the rights of the states to maintain a militia, and that no private ownership of weapons is inherently guaranteed.

The Congress of the United States disagrees. Just yesterday they officially found (HR 800/S. 397 was passed by the House and sent to to the President)

(1) The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

(2) The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects
the rights of individuals, including those who are not members of a militia or engaged in military service or training, to keep and bear arms.

I hope this bill is signed by Bush (or has it been?).
