Do you have a constitutionally protected right to own a truck - or any vehicle?
We have a constitutionally protected right to own guns that would be considered for common use in the military infantry. Those guns are protected because all able-bodied men are members of the reserve militia. Those members are required to report with their own arms that are in common use by the military when called. The AR-15 is the civilian weapon that most closely matches what the military uses. The general population is not currently allowed to own fully automatic weapons without paying an additional "tax" on the guns. Those that do pay that "tax" are allowed weapons that far exceed what the infantry carries in both caliber and firing rate.
