Here is a list of rights and restrictions placed on those rights. With Free Speech, 1st Amendment, You DO NOT have the right to make an impromptu parade on a freeway. 2nd Amendment - YOU MAY NOT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON LEGALLY or an F-16 with bombs.. Reasonable limits are set on our rights. We have to decide what those reasonable limits are: I think clips to 10 Max and no Semi-Auto Asssault Rifles that can kill more than 3 people a minute.
a bit from the article: (Heller case)
Like most rights, the Second Amendment
right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon
whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For
example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the
Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to
cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms
by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of
firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings,
or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of
arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are
those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical
tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.
The bottom line here is that the Second Amendment isn’t special. As with
other rights under the Constitution, the right to keep and bear arms is
subject to reasonable limits. Anyone who argues otherwise is dead wrong.
