 "But," you are saying, "the Constitution guarantees us the right to buy and keep firearms." No, the Constitution guarantees this right only to a "well-regulated Militia," that is, a military force or national guard. This was the interpretation of the U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) and U.S. v. Hale, 978 F.2d 1016 (8th Cir. 1992), as well as more than 30 cases in lower federal and state courts.
