"the people" means the same "people" that have these other rights:
First Amendment: "...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances"
Fourth 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."
No one questions if the First or Fourth Amendments apply to individuals, why should the Second Amendment be any different?
