Quick question on gun confiscation.

[GUBU]

Two centuries of constitutional law disagree.  There is no requirement, for a right, that there be no qualifications.  It would be ludicrous to even conceptualize them in such a way.  Does the qualification that constitutional rights apply only to human beings (and not to all human beings) make them all...suddenly, privileges?

Two decades more like. Until the likes of Scalia and Thomas started thinking they knew better how to interpret the constitution's words than tge people who wrote it, court rulings invariably fell on the side of state and goverment actors when laws limiting gun ownership and usage were challenged. If I remember correctly it was only in 2008 that the supreme court, through Scalia, said it was a right and not a privilege, pretty much overturning 100 years of jurisprudence.
