248. Nobody is saying there should be no laws against misuse
In fact, you'll find that gun owners are some of the strongest voices calling for increased penalties for MISUSE of weapons.

Incidentally, you've got it backwards. The Constitution doesnt say anyone can have any weapon...etc. It doesnt have to. The Constitution is a limitation on GOVERNMENT, not upon the people.

So, what you should really be looking for is the part which grants government the authority to restrict ownership to anyone at any time in any place.
