Yep, I keep telling you people there are no exceptions to "Shall not be infringed."
actually the SC has ruled that there are more than one exception to that clause. You can't own nuclear arms for example or assault rifles at least in some states.
Furthermore the entire right to bear arms is predicated on your position in a state militia.
Read it and weep:
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
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.
If you are not part of a militia, or might not be a part of a militia, then you have no constitutional right to bear arms.
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788
Your argument is invalid. Glad we've settled that.
