This isn't about the text of the amendment. It's about the meaning of the
right. The right is not a right to just whatever guns you wish to have.

You may not keep an Abrams tank with live shells for its 120mm main gun or its
..50 or 7.62mm machine guns. No second amendment violation results from
prohibiting those to you. You also may not have an operable cruise missiles with
warheads, nor anti-aircraft guns with live ammunition for them. As always, no
second amendment violation results from such a prohibition.

There are all kinds of arms that you are forbidden to own lawfully, and there is
no second amendment violation involved. That's just how it is.
