If you are looking for exact wording and detail as to who does and doesn't have the right, you're going to be looking at an amendment that will span pages, not sentences.

MSD's amendment: "No citizen shall be deprived of the right to keep and bear arms except by due process of law." This one seems to cover it.
My concern would be that your wording is somewhat absolute. I think the idea is to provide a summarization or overall idea about the right with the amendment. So an absolute (unless I'm misinterpreting) would
seem to negate the 5th.
