I believe the 2nd Amendment already prohibits the seizing of guns.

***I believe the 2nd Amendment already prohibits the seizing of guns.***

Tell that to the House, Senate and Supreme Court.

I believe the 2nd Amendment already prohibits the seizing of guns.

It would seem that siezing guns without proximate cause, and without due process, would be an infringement on the right to keep arms, would it not?

Of course the state and local authorities would probably say that the second amendment doesn't apply to them, so such legislation is still useful. Of course in the case of LA and WI, there are these little impediments as well.

“The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged, but this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed on the person.” Article 1, Section 11, Louisiana Constitution

The people have the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose. WISC. CONST. art. 1, § 25

“I believe the 2nd Amendment already prohibits the seizing of guns.”

Ah, no, the RAT interpretation of this malleable document means that only the RAT body guards can have weapons.

CLEARLY, though, we need another amendment to REINFORCE the 2nd Amendment....alas.
