In believing it is not an individual right, you not only disagree with dk, but with the highest court in the United States, who asserted that it was, indeed, an individual right.
Until that decision is reversed or superseded, it is precedent at worst and law at best that "the right to bear arms" is an individual right, independent of any sort of membership in a militia.
