Justices Rule for Individual Gun Rights - The New York Times

Seems obvious to me. The right of the people means it's a personal right, not a collective right via the states or the federal government. Otherwise, you could argue the right of the people to assemble or for free speech, etc,....is merely the right of a select portion of the people and not everyone.
