If you would , then the overturning of parts of Brady would trump Miller-- read that decision and Thomas says the 2nd is an individual right in a footnote.

My recollection on the Brady case was that the challenge was not based on the 2nd amendement, i.e., there were other constitutional issue[s] that were brought before the Court. For some reason, unknown to me, the NRA did not think it [the Brady Bill] was a 2nd amendment issue or they didn't believe that they had a strong case.

In the case of US vs. Miller the violated "rights" of the second were directly put to the Court. Note specifically that the plaintiff cites the 2nd amendment.
