Your question is based on the unjustified assumption that the individual is dangerous. If he is an active threat, that's one thing. But to try and predict the future behavior of the individual without enough evidence to satisfy due process is wrong. The trial (and conviction) provides due process and validates the state's actions (limiting rights) to ensure public safety.
I want to ask a basic question that gets to the root of the issue.
Is there ever a time where you think it may be appropriate to limit a constitutional right to an individual without them having been convicted of a crime or incarcerated (including a mental health facility)? Doesn't have to be limited to 2nd amendment rights.
I've seen videos of lawmakers and lawyers testify that no one can know all the laws of each individual state (laws update and there's also interpretation to consider). Plus, I firmly believe states don't have the authority to add or take away from any of our first ten amendments; otherwise secede from the union.
The right to self-defense shouldn't even be questioned. I refuse to believe that any sane, morally upstanding person believes that they shouldn't defend themselves. Or more specifically, entrust their lives solely to another person.
