Going by the strict wording of the Constitution, then ANY law that restricts ANYONE from owning ANY firearm in ANY way is a violation. "Shall not be infringed" is pretty specific.

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges - Cicero

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams
