The 2'nd Amendment ONLY applies to Americans in the military (full-time or reserves)

Assuming your argument is valid, that has nothing to do with whether a person has the freedom (if not constitutional right) to own an AR-15 or whatever weapon he chooses. Because something is not a constitutional right does not mean it is illegal to own that weapon.

The federal government and states are free to make laws now regulating assault weapons, background checks, etc. Most choose not to pass strict laws but it is not because the Constitution prohibits them from doing so; some states do have stricter regulations.

The federal government has NO authority to ban or limit ANY weapon. Neither does any State. Neither has ANY authority to require background checks either.
You obviously know nothing about guns. There is no such thing as an 'assault weapon'.

No it doesn't. There are laws requiring background checks, waiting periods, bans and regulations on assault weapons, regulations on carrying weapons.....The laws have become much more liberal in recent years allowing more freedom to possess and carry weapons.

Unconstitutional.

Bottom line: laws were passed to keep full military armament from the general population, as such is regulated to military personnel. This does not leave the general population without fire arms....never did. Bitching about not having such access just because you want it is a childish, over-simplification of the issue ... especially when one dismisses the ramifications of such an attitude. That the majority weapon of choice for mass shootings in the last 25 years was formerly on a ban list speaks volumes.

Unconstitutional.
The .22 rifle is not on a ban list.
 
The entire "militia" bullshit is just an example of how awful the founders were at writing official documents.
They needed fewer country gentleman squires and more decent lawyers.

The entire constitution is a clusterfuck, and the 2nd amendment is just another example.

The courts have since interpreted it to mean that firearms ownership is a guaranteed right that comes with American citizenship unless forfeited by criminal behavior.

I already know you hate the Constitution and want to discard it.

No court has authority to interpret or change the Constitution.
