No it doesnt.. because there are already bans on weapons you can obtain. You cant buy a shoulder launched RPG's, you can buy hand gernades. You have to have special permits to have full auto and can not carry them in public.
There are shitloads of gun/weapon restrictions. The govt has the right to set limits and they can limit types of guns or weapons.
The 2nd and doesn't specify what you can be "armed" with.. it doesn't say you have the right to guns or naval vessels or armoured tanks..
This is all the 2nd and says.....
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.
It can just as well be argued that you have to be part of a militia to have "arms".. arms could be a bow and arrow...It doesn't state firearms.. it's intentionally vague to allow states and govt to decide what is appropriate for the times.
So good a reply I only need to copy and paste.
