Why is it that some believe that the US Constitution guarantees weapons
ownership?

It doesn't. It guarantees the Right to own a weapon. If you choose not
to exercise that right...you don't have to.

Most of these people have never read the law, and those that have read
it, completely ignore the first clause of the sentence.
"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".
How many gun owners belong to a "well regulated militia"?

You seem to have missed that tiny little "comma" between the first and
second clauses in the verbiage as well as the third clause.


Is there some reason for your reading comprehension issues? Some form
of autism perhaps?
