It's been Mt. Gox for a few years.
The second amendment only says that you have the right to bear arms.
Not which ones you are allowed to bear. There is no enshrined constitutional right for you to own to own a gun or a missile.
Under the constitution the government is within their rights to limit you to owning a sword and prohibiting your ownership of other weapons.
