The Constitution does not guarantee you the right to own any weapon you want.

No,but it clearly guarantees the individual the RIGHT to own the weapons the common infantry soldier would be expected to have or use.

People at the time of the Revolution owned ships armed with cannon. For sea-going warfare, that was the ultimate weapon available. There were no restrictions. The idea that the Second Amendment includes a limitation on the type of arms which may be owned is a new idea invented by those who are not willing to amend the Constitution to outlaw nuclear weapons.
