This statement is not entirely accurate. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms for the purpose of self-defense and for maintaining a well-regulated militia. It does not specifically state that Congress cannot pass a law infringing this right. However, the Supreme Court has held that the Second Amendment does protect an individual's right to own firearms for self-defense in their own homes. Therefore, while the First Amendment does not explicitly limit Congress's power to pass laws related to gun ownership, the Second Amendment provides some limitations on this power.
