I can't seem to find the "keep and bear arms only in your own home" clause.

It's right there behind the one that says a citizen may only own weapons that are "commonly" used by "militias".

Oh good, then then proscriptions against automatic weapons, sexy black weapons, and hand grenades goes out the window too?

Actually, if the courts interpreted the Second Amendment as only covering weapons commonly used by militias, we'd all be able to own full-automatic rifles, grenade launchers, mortars, and ammunition for the same and a whole lot of other heavier weapons than current law allows, to say nothing of the laws covering "destructive devices" (IEDs) being voided. (Consider what militias in the Middle East are armed with.)
