Interesting the assertion is validish but I am afraid not true. Only convicted criminal can legally have there right removed. so our right being removed was not done legally.
I dident think I would have to explain so much to have everyone understand. ill be sure to help you alone by providing lots of detail next time.
As much as you want to rail against it, it is the legislatures right to determine how you can keep your arms and limit what arms you can actually hold in your possession.
The Supreme Court held:[43]
(2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.

So, while you rail against your "rights" being taken away, the SC has declared that your 2nd Amemdment rights are not unlimited.
