The court never declared ARK a natural born citizen they couldn’t since his parents were Chinese Emperor subjects.

You're arguing the dissenting opinion. It is not the dissenting opinions which hold sway in our jurisprudence.

The dissenting opinion in the narrow ruling in US v. Lopez, declared that the federal Gun Free School Zone Act, which among other things made it a federal crime to possess a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school zone, was constitutional under the commerce clause of the Constitution.

Should that dissenting opinion be used to argue in favor of federal gun control laws?

Didn't think so.

No I'm not. The supreme court in the Ark case never called him a 'natural born citizen'.
