The US Supreme Court recently incorporated (applied) the Second Amendment to the States in McDonald v. Chicago, (2010). The Court held, as it did in District of Columbia v. Heller,(2008), that the Second Amendment protected the public's right to possess firearms in their homes, and that the amendment was not intended solely for the formation of a militia, but for personal protection, as well. Restrictions against felons owning guns and other federal legislation still applies.
