The Constitution doesn't grant rights. It establishes what you can't do.
For example, the 2nd Amendment doesn't give you the right to bear arms. It tells you that someone can't infringe upon that right.

As another example, nowhere in the Constitution does it say I have the right to life... not be murdered. But murdering someone is still illegal, isn't it?

Your first mistake is that you haven't answered why CC is infringing in the 2nd Amendment. No silly logical comparisons. Just straight forwards... how would it be taking away your right to carry if I tell you that you can carry as long as you conceal it?

It would infringe upon my rights because it puts limits on it outside of protecting the rights of others. How many times do I have to say this?

Your second mistake is in believing that no one can ever infringe upon those rights. They most definitely can.
The State government can set a drinking age, even though an Amendment ended prohibition.

Why do you think that continuing to point out bastardizations of the constitution makes a point? The fact that they exist doesn't make them constitutional.
