Congress cannot regulate all guns out of existence because that would infringe on "the right of the people to keep and bear arms".

Except that to you, "the people" is only whoever is allowed to vote (remember, voting is not a right), "keep" does not include personal ownership but instead mere custody of gov't property, "bear" is only in active service under the direction of state-appointed officers organized by the feds, and "arms" is whatever the state deems appropriate for combat.

Ergo, that "right" can be limited to gov't-owned flintlocks handed out to conscripts entering active combat. No?

I've answered that before and you just ignore it. If you didn't understand/accept it the first time, repetition obviously won't work because repetition obviously hasn't worked.
