How much of what he had was illegal to own?

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

How many of this Great Republic's >20,000 "gun laws" are Constitutional to enact?

That's the bottom line for me.

for me as well

Note you don’t see anyone trying to amend away other amendments, say for civil rights et al.

Speech and Firearms are the enemies of the Left.

Amend at will...

Very probably none of them. The right to keep and bear in order to have a well regulated militia were Not reserved for the US government NOR to the states but to the people. “People” is defined as individuals.
