2a, but simplified for polticians and other toddlers.

I could see an interpretation of this where the government doesn't make it illegal for you to own any weapon but makes selling them illegal. After all, it's not infringing on your right to have them, it just regulates the market for weapons, which isn't forbidden by the letter of the law.
