There is no right in the US Constitution to bear guns, you can bear arms but not guns. Furthermore, the interpretation of liberal constructionist like Scalia is ridiculous, either the right is entrenched and timeless as of the time it was written in the late 18th century, or it is a right that is in place to allow the citizenry to defend itself against the tyranny of the state, in which case you should be allowed to accumulate all of the weapons that the state has. But to have judges sitting and deciding what is an arm and what is not must drive Conservatives crazy.
