I am making clear that members of Congress who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States are not eligible to serve in Congress. [More]
So anyone who espouses the same reasons as the Founders did for having a Second Amendment?
Do you need to be convicted of anything or just have some scumbag piece of crap commie apparatchik send out a tweet accusing you?

He's full of shit.
The amendment specifies: "But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
And they did exactly that, in 1872, with a statute called the Amnesty Act: "That all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth article of the amendments of the Constitution of the United States are hereby removed from all persons whomever, except Senators and Representatives of the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh Congresses, officers in the judicial, military, and naval service of the United States, heads of departments, and foreign ministers of the United States.”
Check and mate.
The Amnesty Act of 1872 removed all disabilities permanently. Further, the Courts have no jurisdiction of any kind because Article I states that the two houses have sole authority to establish qualifications of the members of those houses, not the courts. Marc Elias is rattling a nerf sword.
