The U.S. Supreme Court in the 2008 DC v. Heller decision stated quite clearly that your right to bear arms is NOT absolute. In fact the most conservative justice of them all, Antonin Scalia, wrote the majority opinion. In that decision, which is now a matter of SETTLED LAW, he stated:

"Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner
whatsoever and for whatever purpose
: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons." ;D
