That doesn't necessarily say we have the right to pick and choose the ones we want, or how many.
I think collection would be just fine, but it would need to be regulated, just like it already is.
What you use in your home, would be your business, as long as it is legal to obtain.
But if you are going to have a gun on you for protection purposes, it would either have to be one of the above weapons issued, or you would need to get a special CCW to carry a non-issued weapon.
Edit:
Oh, and you would be responsible for your issued weapons. If somebody else gets hold of them, and it is found that you did not make a reasonable effort to protect the weapon (or in fact sold, or gave it away), you will be subject to charges of not caring for your weapon, in addition to partly responsible for any crime committed using that weapon. Modification or having numbers filed off will add to the charges.
