Sure it does.
that's not how it works. the constitution is vague in almost every single section. only in certain areas such as how ties are broken and such is it sufficiently specific.
from there we have a way to find out what is and isn't meant, the supreme court. the founding fathers knew they didnt know what they didnt know. so they created the supreme court to be the everlasting hivemind for constitutional meaning. a perpetual body of case law that would define what the constitution is and isn't.
gun laws have been struck down as unconstitutional and have been upheld as constitutional. but that mostly pertains to bans, such as the machine gun ban, 21 year old requirement for a hand gun, magazine size, etc.
when it comes to things like background checks, concealed carry permits, and other items in gun laws the supreme court has ruled time and time again that this is not a covered protection in the constitution.
you can disagree, and your opinion doesn't matter. what i stated above isn't an opinion, its how the law works. it may also be wrong, it may be right, but it is a fact.
