>An individual "right" to own firearms was only created in 2008 You are conflating a SCOTUS ruling with a "right". The right was always there since the constitution was adopted. It just wasn't a right that was challenged all the way up to the SCOTUS until 2008. That doesn't mean the right didn't exist before hand. It only means the SCOTUS confirmed a right that has existed all along.
