However, I do acknowledge that criminals should not be allowed to own guns, nor should lunatics. And, I acknowledge that if someone is plotting to murder policemen, then he should be picked up and have his guns confiscated until we're sure he isn't a threat. This can be accomplished as part of a sentacing proceedure or committment hearing. There is no need for a blanket Law that affects the law abiding. All gun control laws presuppose criminal intent without due process and are un-Constitutional on their face completely apart from the Second.

Notice our legal whiz had no answer to your comment on the due process of prohibitory type laws on the possession of property.
[as in life, liberty & property]
Well made constitutional point, one that the closet authoritarians among us are unable to face.
