Show me in the constitution were it says the government can restrict which type of guns you own. This is where the gun lovers logic fails. They think the 2nd Admendment means it's carte blanche on owning a gun. well it's not.

First of all the 2nd Admendment says the right to bear ARMS, not guns. Are guns arms? Sure, so are grenade launchers, tanks and nuclear missles. You can't own those can you? Using the gun lovers logic those thing should also be available to everyone. After all it says my right to bear ARMS shall NOT be INFRINGED. Well isn't that what they are doing by denying me my right to own a tank? A tank is ARMS and I'm being infringed from owning one. See the fact is the while you have a right to own arms, we have had over 200 years of precedent that also says the government can tell you which arms you can and can't own because that's exactly what they have been doing for that long. So any gunlover that says gun laws are un-Constitutional are in fact full of shit because if they were they would have been overturned 200 years ago.
Excellent points!
