I note it's time for a refresher.
Some limitation on the types of arms protected by the second amendment is clearly within the scope of the amendment. Mr. Justice Scalia in the Heller decision:
There seems to us no doubt, on the basis of both text and
history, that the Second Amendment conferred an individual right
to keep and bear arms. Of course the right was *not unlimited*,
just as the First Amendment ’s right of free speech was not, see,
e.g., United States v. Williams, 553 U. S. ___ (2008). Thus, we
do not read the Second Amendment to protect the right of citizens
to carry arms for any sort of confrontation, just as we do not
read the First Amendment to protect the right of citizens to
speak for any purpose.
[...]
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is
*not unlimited*. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases,
commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was
not a right to keep and carry *any weapon whatsoever* in any
manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.

You may think the right *ought* to be unlimited, but as a matter of text, history and interpretation, it is not. That is simply a fact, and crazed far-right gun crackpots, such as scooter and Francis Mark Hansen, are going to have to accommodate themselves to that fact. You do not have a right to just whatever guns you wish to have.
Bullshit . The intent of the 2nd Amendment was that the people have armaments equal to the government , thus insuring a despotic government - such as what we live under today - could not oppress the people . They didn't count on the long-term jewish plan to subvert our government and indoctrinate the people .
