To do so is part of the US Constitution, by amendment to the said constitution. The owning of guns is also ingrained in US culture. This said, this culture and the amendment were established before the development of the modern military assault rifle and one must wonder if the founding father may have limited the right to purchase and carry these weapons freely had they foreseen what was to come.
One must also remember that there is a huge industry making money out of selling these weapons to US citizens and these industries are spending vast amounts of money ensuring that paid politicians obfuscate any real debate or change.
