Of course. But keep in mind that you can't run a goverment effectively simply by applying a part of the constitution as the rule to ALL scenarios. For example, Chauncey tried to discredit the case for 2nd amendment rights by attempting to say that violent criminals should keep and bear arms. In this case, if a person has been convicted of a violent crime, of course they shouldn't have a gun, or at least untill that person can prove that he or she is capable of bearing arms in a responsible fashion.
