The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a convicted felon cannot be prevented by the government from trying to sell his guns after they are confiscated.
In a unanimous decision, the court sided with Tony Henderson, a former DHS agent, who turned over his collection of 19 firearms to the FBI as a condition of release after his conviction for distributing marijuana.
Henderson plead guilty and subsequently wanted to sell his collection, reportedly valued at $3,500, to a friend. Lower courts had previously ruled that allowing Henderson to do so would technically give him possession of the firearms, in violation of the law.

Seems reasonable. Also avoids any issues with a takings clause.
