Actually the 2nd Amendment gives All citizens of the U.S. the irrevocable(not able to be changed, reversed, or recovered; final) right to obtain, keep and bear arms, and NOBODY can hinder, obstruct, impede, thwart, violate, or prevent ones 2nd Amendment. It means United States citizens have a God given right to keep and bear arms.
So honestly, according to the 2nd Amendment can the Government really prevent and/or deny or take the 2nd Amendment right away from convicts? No where does it say anything about loosing that right? It says that EVERYONE has that right and NOBODY can say otherwise.
That falls under state laws, and it does vary from state-to-state.
The Tenth Amendment speaks of powers reserve to the federal government, to the states, and to the people. The main point of it is that any powers not delegated explicitly in the Constitution to the federal government, is reserved to the states or to the people, and that the federal government is not authorized to claim or exercise that power.
The Second Amendment is explicit on the point that the right/power which it affirms belongs to the people. This means that it does not belong to the federal government, nor does it belong to the states, and neither have the legitimate authority to interfere with it.
