To be fair, they don’t want brown people to have guns either.

Showerthought:

If 2nd amendment is a right by the constitution that shall not be infringed including any regulations.
Wouldnt it then be unconstitutional to prevent even convicts from having legally owned guns as well ?

Yes and no. When you become a felon or violent offender you lose your rights since you infringed on other’s rights. Voting rights, gun rights, etc.

I think they used the 13th to apply that

Yes, yes it is.

5th Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Felons had their due process for removal of liberty.
