It doesn't appear that the US government has taken away a Constitutional right. Currently it is illegal to use automatics, have a background check to buy a weapon, cannot conceal a weapn without a permit, cannot have a weapon inside any public building, and you must have a gun unloaded and in a case in some states. I believe it is also illegal to use teflon bullits (correct me if I'm wrong) and some military ammunition.
These appear to be rules designed for the reasonable use and ownership of guns and seem mostly to ensure citizens with no criminal record keep weapons in a responsible way. If assault weapons are outlawed for the safety of law enforcement or if it becomes more difficult or takes longer for a citizen to get a gun, is that a bad thing really. If so called anti-gun people want a few more restriction...is that really a bad thing?
