..so this is to say that with due process of law, then one could be deprived of life, liberty, and property?

Those of you here who are in awe of Scalia's "strict constructionism" need to ponder this dissent.
I'm what you call an 'originalist,' one who believes the Constitution should be interpreted exactly as it was adopted," Scalia added.
"It should be interpreted as it was written – nothing more, nothing less.

Thomas contends, & Scalia concures that:
" --- The broad phrase "any court" unambiguously includes all judicial bodies with jurisdiction to impose the requisite conviction--a conviction for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than a year.
Indisputably, Small was convicted in a Japanese court of crimes punishable by a prison term exceeding one year.
The clear terms of the statute prohibit him from possessing a gun in the United States. --- "
Show me in the Constitution where it states that a mans RKBA's can be prohibited by the decree of a Japanese court.
-- The 2nd amendment:
"-- should be interpreted as it was written – nothing more, nothing less."
