I understand why you say this, but Americans have a right to bear arms, not vehicles. The only reason for all the controls on vehicles is because they are a privilege, not a right.
You should be allowed to bear arms without bullets, in a small "right to bear arms zone" far outside of any town, in a desert, with a bunch of "law enforcement" (chuckle) types pointing guns at you while you bear them. Fair is fair.
We have a right to free political speech too, anytime anywhere. But we dont have those rights anymore outside of "free speech zones" far from anywhere people will see you, and you will be threatened and physically abused and your cars vandalized by cops if you go to one. So cry me a river on your "constitutional" "right to bear arms".
The law can be whatever we collectively want it to be. The entire point of having Amendments is that the Constitution was supposed to be a living document that we would refine and improve over time.
No bro the constitution was 100% perfect and infallible from day 1 and can never ever be altered

That's simply incorrect. Nothing in there is stopping gun control laws from being implemented.
Permits are already a thing in some states, and certain individuals are prohibited from owning guns.
The right is far from unlimited, even though many seem to think so.
Americans have the right to bear arms just as much as they have the right to shout fire in a crowded theatre — it's a right that can be regulated and both already are, one needs more regulation, but people don't seem to understand.
As the founders intended, we have a right to bear a single-bore muzzle-loaded flint-lock. Anything more than that should really be a separate right.
And you should also be required to regularly attend militia training if you have any kind of weapon.
