I like Scalias thoughts here when he basically says that everywhere else in the Bill of Rights, “The Peoples Rights” equates to individual rights and therefore the argument that “Except for #2” is bogus.

Obviously nobody wrote the Bill of Rights for militias, police, and armies.

Reading the opinion is a bit tedious but well worth it..

you are CORRECT. BEARING arms is an INDIVIDUAL, "God-given right", which is ONLY enumerated in the BOR.
