The 5th Circuit Emerson ruling (originating in Texas) also held that RKBA is an individual right, but sadly they held that this "right" is subject to "reasonable restrictions", and returned the case to lower court.
IANAL

I'm not happy about the reasonalble restrictions either but I consider this overall to be a huge victory. If we can get enough precedent or a SCOTUS decision stating that 2A is an individual right that will effectively cripple the anit's. Not that I think that they will go away, but they will have to change their approach. And I think that it will be an uphill battle from now on for them.

I think that it will be easier to argue "reasonable restrictions" than it is to argue if it is even a right at all. JMO!
