We have gun rights, but we don’t have handgun rights.

Rights are legally beyond the authority of the state. You are only allowed the rifles and shotguns the state allows you have. So you have no gun "rights" at all, only gun "privileges ", which you exercise only with the proper permits.

The same applies to you. Different parts of the US have different gun laws. Many areas restrict the type of guns you may own just as ours do here, thus you no more have gun rights than we do, you just have wider priveledges than we do.
