I'm not ideologically opposed to what I think you're saying, but it is actually the case that many weapons are not allowed to be owned regardless of the second amendment. Nuclear weapons, for example. It doesn't matter if you build it entirely yourself using completely novel processes not owned by anyone, and acquired all inputs legally, it is still 100% illegal for a private citizen to own a nuclear weapon.

There is no legal reason why AIs couldn't be governed under the same principle.
