No, but it is the supreme law of the land.

In this case, a restriction solely on the federal government. Just as the Framers intended.

Your skill at discerning the framers' intent, contrary to their clearly written words, is amazing.

If the states ratifying the bill of rights had intended to reserve the power to abrogate the enumerated right of the people to keep and bear arms, then they would have used wording that restricted Congress or the federal government from infringing on that right rather than asserting the right as a "right of the people" that "shall not be infringed".
