[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1562085, member: 18314"] Not according to the supreme court, he isn't. The 2nd amendment doesn't give everyone the right to own any firearm and to use it anywhere and at any time. You have the right to bear arms, but you do not explicitly have the right to bear every type of arm. Disallowing the mentally ill, underaged, and felons from owning guns is not unconstitutional. Disallowing the possession of machine guns and silencers is not unconstitutional. Disallowing the possession of completely plastic guns that are undetectable by airport xray machines is not unconstitutional. Disallowing the possession of handguns is unconstitutional, because it is the primary firearm used for self defense. The 2nd amendment is much like the 1st amendment, it doesn't give everyone a blanket free pass to do whatever they want, whenever they want. Individual rights are always balanced with infringing on others' rights. While it may seem like it's impeding my freedom of speech, I cannot hand out pictures of a group of old naked men having anal sex with each other to children. The government would be right to put a stop to that and arrest me. There's a balance that has to be found, and SCOTUS is the final word on what that balance is until the constitution is changed.
