    Due process doesn’t mean found guilty in a court of law. If that’s what it meant then nobody could be held in jail or in police custody even before their trial. If you are booked for a felony, especially one involving a gun, I believe it’s perfectly reasonable to have your guns taken temporarily or permanently if you’re found guilty of a felony offense.

      Federal law prohibits possession of a firearm by an individual who has been indicted for a felony. I think that a judge may prohibit possession of a firearm as a condition of pretrial release for lesser crimes, but that may vary from one state to the next. I am not sure.
