No I don't Eric. It's a fundamental human right to own property and defend yourself, and until someone breaks the law I reject the suggestion that they should be punished for the potential or actual crimes of others.
Pre emptive legislation is the stuff of an Orwellian nightmare, and has no place whatever in a free country.

Slaves were once classed as property too (in the nation that we're discussing). I suppose you would have been against the emancipation proclamation too?

Why would you suppose that then ?

Slavery is hardly unique to the USA and slaves have always been those who were unable to defend themselves
