I don't have to. I'm not the one making the claim that you have the right to a specific type of weapon.

If you want to claim that you have a right to THAT weapon, then show me where it says you do. The Constitution does not state that you have the right to bear ANY firearms. It only states that you have the right to bear arms. The law allows for further clarification, should the legislature choose to do so. That's why 2A is an amendment. The Constitution consists of a pre-amble, seven actual articles, and 27 amendments. The amendments are add-ons. They were not part of the original Constitution and can be removed, or further amended, or appended, or edited.
