Even the 13th amendment that prohibits slavery or involuntary servitude, makes an exception: "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
But the 2nd amendment, which forbids government from taking away or restricting our right to keep and bear arms, is conspicuously devoid of any such language. As written, it permits NO exceptions or "reasonable restrictions". Period.
Why?

Well since it doesn't give a individual a right, but only as part of a well regulated militia. . I assume the regulated gives you your answer. Why do you need more info?
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
