Infringed can also be defined as "to encroach upon".
And yes, it does mean I have the right to a machine gun. Or a tank, if I can afford one.
And yes, unless you are denied your rights after due process of law or previous commitment by a competent court for mental defect, anyone should be able to own any weapon.
