I'm glad you realize your 2nd amendment rights not withstanding, the gov't still can regulate what you can carry, where you can carry, and how you can use your weapon. The 2nd only says they just can't arbitrarily say no one can have any type of firearm for any reason. I agree with that philosophy and I don't think I know anyone who would ban all guns for all people.
No, that is not what the Second Amendment says.
The Second Amendment identifies the right to keep and bear arms as belonging to the people, and forbids government from infringing this right.
Do you know what “infringe” means? It's related the word “fringe”, referring to the barest edge of a thing or in more modern usage, to a form of decoration applied to that edge. In saying that the right shall not be infringed, the Second Amendment is saying that government may not even touch the barest edge of that right.
