EXACTLY. The 2nd Amendment allows for gun ownership in the context of "a well-regulated militia". It does not guarantee every trigger-happy cowboy the right to blaze away willy-nilly.

I agree with your interpretation, but unfortunately the Extreme Court (and the gun lobby) doesn't. I believe I remember that that ruling was by 5 to 4, so it could be reversed. But, given the age of the right wing Justices and the continuing political pressures, as well as the stare decisis principle, I don't look for that ruling being reversed any time soon.
