You may be annoyed, but it isn't really much of an interference with your right to have a gun. Remember that the issue in Kelo was whether the government could take property *in exchange for compensation*.Ah, so perhaps in this context Kelo means that if you have a prized $30,000 Krieghoff shotgun sitting in your gun cabinet, I can have the city force you to sell it to me, because I promise to take it to a public range twice a year and let anybody take a couple of shots with it for free. :-) (Just kidding.)
