Seen at Volokh’s:

The Supreme Court’s recent decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, holding that the Second Amendment protects a limited individual right to possess a firearm — unconnected with service in a militia — does not alter our conclusion. Under Heller, individuals still do not have the right to possess machineguns or short-barreled rifles, as Gilbert did, and convicted felons, such as Gilbert, do not have the right to possess any firearms

No surprise, really. SCOTUS went 5-4 on a revolver even though it went 9-0 on individual right.
