"...the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

if you ask me, telling people what guns they can and can't own is infringement.
It says "arms"... not guns.
So how about rocket launchers? nukes? torpedos? missile launchers?
Or are your rights being infringed upon?

The "right" to have "arms" doesn't mean you "have" to own anything that can be classified as "arms".

You guys cling to this outdated law like it's last bastion of freedom. Like you can't possibly live without the most powerful guns you can find simply because you're allowed to have them.

You're allowed to have pez dispensers too. Go collect those. Perhaps you won't cry so much then, unless someone tells you that you're not allowed to have the anthrax dispensing ones.
