A think a visit to the scholarly debates on this might be in order....
One side is that they sale of guns may be regulated...
"• Over the years, the federal courts have been nearly unanimous
that the Second Amendment protects only the collective right of
the states to maintain militias, and not an individual’s right to own
guns; the DC ruling is an exception to the rule."
Of course with the DC ruling the other side says...
"• The DC court‘s decision reflects an emerging scholarly consensus
that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to
keep and bear arms."
There are points on both sides but if you did not even understand why the question, I believe more reading is in line for you
