To Review What The Second Amendment Says.

The Second Amendment clearly says "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State". A well regulated Militia. Militia, militia, militia. That's not a crazy person living in a shack in the wilderness. That's not even people carrying a gun for self-defense. It clearly uses the word "militia".

Also, not only was District of Columbia v. Heller, 2008, wrong for the reason above. But McDonald v. Chicago two years later makes even less sense. It involves selective incorporation, the legal doctrine that some fundamental rights in the Bill of Rights are to be gradually to applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause. Selective incorporation is probably a good idea but original intent judges don't believe in it. Except rarely when they use the doctrine of stare decisis. So why is it okay when they do it?
