All this hand wringing. Let's look at the actual amendments.
1st amendment...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
4th amendment
THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
2nd amendment
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Please note the founding fathers specifically spelled out THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE when writing these amendment. That makes it a personal RIGHT in my mind. I fail to see how one could see it any other way.
