Gun laws passed by Congress are done so under the power of the Commerce Clause, regulating (prohibiting) the interstate commerce of certain guns. I'm not aware that these laws have recently been challenged as violating the second amendment -- the last time was 70 years ago in US v Miller.

And you are here to argue that power is superior to any right, individual or collective, including the right to keep and bear arms.

Any natural right may be reasonably regulated by the government for the public good.

Or do you think that your individual rights should take precedent, and screw everyone else?
