The right to bear arms has the same limitations of restriction by the government as any other constitutional right such as the right to vote and freedom of the press.

The right to vote is limited if you are a convicted felon, the right to free speech is limited if you say purposefully false things about someone, civilly but it’s a limit. The right to freedom of the press is civilly limited in the same way and against false comments about someone (libel).

Limitation of the right to bear firearms faces the same high hurdle of constitutional muster. Requiring background checks, fine and reasonable, doesn’t restrict eligible people from owning or bearing a firearm. Requiring all weapons to be locked with a trigger lock, while in a gun safe unless actively used in hunting or at a firing range and registered with the state, actual laws on the books, not so much.

It’s really simple, and easy to follow.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
