Use your spell check.
Fat chance..
(From the First Section of the 14th Amendment) "
N)or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
Implicit in that statement is that someone who has had due process, namely their day in court, may have certain rights abridged. Therefore, someone who has been convicted of a crime or adjudicated mentally ill or insane may legally be denied the right to own or carry a weapon.
Beyond that, I see no Constitutional way that an adult can have his 2nd Amendment rights taken away.
I personally don't see any Constitutional argument prohibiting minors from owning or carrying weapons, which is a restriction I do support. If someone can find one, I'd love to read it.
