   Well, 2a was about a "well regulated militia", not individual rights.   
   As far as the freedom to own guns, that can be, and always has been,   
   stripped for almost any violation even without a jury sentence.  If   
   you become a citizen of another country and remain a legal US   
   resident, gun freedoms are stripped.  If you desert from the army, gun   
   rights are stripped.   
      
   The reason speeding is related to gun use is because it speaks to   
   responsibility.  If your drivers license is suspended, see how long   
   you keep your pilot's papers! ... same thing.  If you're irresponsible   
   in one area, you probably are in all areas.  If you're a doper, you   
   shouldn't have a gun.
