I bet I can find some juicy 9th Circuit Court references to "keep and bear arms".

Like Stewart, where they found that a convicted felon could make his own machineguns?

(Yeah, it was overturned en banc, but the reasoning by the 3-judge panel was marvelously sane, coherent, and Constitutional.)

Oops, my bad, confusing cases.
Stewart was overturned by the Supreme Court. The very lucid ruling that gave a felon the right to make machineguns got tossed by the implications that the feds could violently raid a dying little old lady's home because she had a pot plant for personal use under a doctor's supervision.

Come to think of it, if "privacy" becomes a Roe-v-Wade type issue in this case (which it may) then Stewart could be revisited.
