My contention is only that it can be lawfully removed from some individuals.

That was the unheralded verdict of Emerson: there is indeed an individual RKBA, and yes it can be lawfully removed from some individuals, under specific circumstances, specifically addressed by a court, with an opportunity for the defendant to rebut the accusations and the intended removal. Emerson had the right to arms, but given that he had threatened his wife with those arms, and the feds declared such threatening behavior warrants prompt disarmament in light of imminent safety, and Emerson had a chance (however strained) to rebut that accusation, the verdict was the court could indeed remove that right under the specific circumstances.
