In McDonald v. Chicago the court applied the second to the states via the 14th Amendment.
Yes, but I've also been told here that unless Congress codifies Heller and McDonald, it isn't a right and a leftist court can erase it as easily as they created it.

"Rights are not inherent in the plain language of the Constitution, nor granted by some magical sky spirit. They must be granted by a benevolent government."
I don't believe this claptrap, but it seems to be the prevalent understanding of "rights" in the 21st Century. Health and child care are rights. To not have to hear arguments that challenge one's beliefs are another right. Silly things written into the Constitution are subject to interpretation.
