The 2nd Amendment actually states: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.  It wasn't until Heller in 2008 that the Right-wing justices invented an individual right to bear arms although going back into the 70's there has been increasing pressure on making that come about (largely from the NRA and gun manufacturers).  Prior to that there were lots of gun regulations (including for example closing the machine gun registry or creating one in the first place).
