Southerngirl,
They certainly are. DC has a handgun ban, and it is illegal to keep a rifle or shotgun assembled. DC also has one of the highest rates of gun crime of any city in the nation.
Back to the second amendment. It is clear ( to me anyway) that the Bill of Rights was written to secure individual rights for citizens. Look at the other nine. Why would the 2nd amendment be the only one written to define a states right ?
Glenn Reynolds ( Yes he is a right wing Blogger) but a also a pretty open minded guy ) has said that he dreams of a country where a same sex couple can be legally married and keep guns in the closet. He is a law professor in Tennessee and has written extensively on the 2nd amendment. I really recommend this article.
I highly recommend THIS.

A gun is just a particular kind of tool. It’s a pity we need such tools, but there you are. I don’t see the point in getting so worked up over a tool that you can’t distinguish between a gun and a grenade and a nuclear bomb.
