I’m mostly with you.  A few tweaks.

If you are going to remove a right, you need due process.  This would require a felony conviction, or a professional psychological decision.  That is a higher standard than being banned from a militia unit.

The National Guard is a federal standing army.  The militia cannot be sent abroad.  When Teddy Roosevelt set up the current system, he wanted a reserve that could be sent abroad, that could be called up without congressional approval.  An alternate line of command to the state was there, but the Nation Guard is paid for by federal money, and if the president calls a unit into service, the governor is out of luck.  An example was when George Wallace sent the Guard to a state university to prevent black students from integrating, and John Kennedy responded by federally taking command of the Guard.

I see civilian weapons as being limited in power per shot, speed of fire and size of magazine.  Would you try for anything else?
