What is the basis for forfeiture of Constitutional rights?

[soultrain]

For example, where in the Constitution (or SCOTUS precedent) is the state permitted to violate an individual's 2nd Amendment right based upon a felony conviction or "mental illness".

Just asking?

[Grindelwald]

Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.

For the government firsters, all property belongs to government. That they lack the intellectual capacity to learn from the failures of their 'war' on drugs goes without saying.

You're pathetic argument. Of course I'm making a rather foolish assumption that you are able to comprehend that bit of the SCOTUS's ruling.

I asked a question. What was my argument?

[Grindelwald]

Don't give me that crap. Everyone has read your posts in other threads, we know what your "argument" (loose term) is.

The question was a valid one. You chose to stereotype and presume. You answer was helpful, and apparently correct. No need to blow it
