"The consstitution specifically forbids the enactment of all gun laws. No Exceptions. - Due process requires the nullification of all gun statutes. Anything less is short of Due process.
"

Silliness. We have thousands of laws regulating firearms. Since they stand and have not been overturned by the courts, you are incorrect regarding their consitutionality.

Haven't been following what's going through the courts recently, eh? Gun laws are starting to fall, and high-level courts are asking SCOTUS to review the 2nd Amendment with the obvious implication that they believe "...shall not be infringed" will be affirmed and the gun laws will fall en masse (kinda like how abortion was illegal until Roe v. Wade, then all abortion prohibitions fell overnight).

"We have thousands of laws regulating firearms."

No argument, but not one of them is constitutionally defensible. Look up the word infringe, and then apply it.
