You make two basic mistakes.
First, your rights end where mine begin. Even free speech doesn't mean you get to shout "bomb!" in a crowded theater without consequences. Likewise, your "right" to say something also doesn't mean I have to hear it.
Anything beyond what you think will at some point infringe the rights of others so there are natural limits.
Second, no "right" is absolute. If happen to believe in the current Supreme Court's interpretation of the Second Amendment (namely that it's an individual right, which, to be clear, I don't) then even that has limits. There are limits on what weapons you can own, you have to be 18+ and you (generally) can't be a felon. There are limits on where you take such firearms (eg try to take a firearm onto a plane).
