So its safe to say that you are against gun control too?

Not at all. The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. The right to own military grade hardware is not. While in 1789 these were essentially one in the same, owning a modern handgun is
not the same as owning an AR-15 or P90 or SAW.

Which parts again? About the only people that can be really targeted are non-citizens. I don't remember the constitution protecting non-citizens.

Yes, but remember that in Germany all Jews regardless of Nationality or place of birth were deemed non-citizens. How long before we see the naturalized citizens from unpopular countries grouped with non-citizens? How long before Natural born citizens of questionable descent join the group? How long before anyone who questions the actions of the powers-that-be are included? Passing legislation that enables a a group of people to be treated differently than others based on subjective criteria is a very slippery slope. This is my greatest fear.
Ok. Valid point.
