Wade affirmed it as one in a roundabout way, the second amendment is much more clear about the constitutional right to own firearms. It was so important to the Framers that they made an amendment specific to it.
I do agree with your general point though.
But the reality is the 2nd amendment being a right to unregulated ownership of a gun is laughable joke as detailed in Breyer's scathing dissent of Heller, which is widely accepted as one of the most well written and fact based dissents in history. Scalia's opinion made claims that were outright lies and easily disproved. No one in history even believed the 2nd was a claim to unregulated gun ownership until the NRA morphed into a gun rights club in the 70's.
It's scary the SC took up the case as NY has already rescinded the law. This SC is a joke and moving us toward a theocratic authoritarian rule that seems to have Roberts a little worried and he's very far right.
