Hasn't the SC already ruled the 2nd Ammendment was a personal affair and not subject to federal rules and tregs ?

Or something like that

The NRA needs to bust SF, not the fed SC.

No. They ruled you could use a gun for self defense at home, and that gun rights, 'like all rights' are not unlimited. And that guns can be regulated in areas such as schools, .gov areas, and other such places.

Hardly. You might be thinking of the McDonald case, which applied the Heller decision (it is unconstitutional to apply a blanket ban on possession of handguns at home), to the states and other law-making entities.

No harm was done to federal regulation, and Scalia went out of his way to say (in Heller) that a ban that has stood for a long time becomes constitutional just by dint of standing for a long a time.
