It reads more as speculative thought, rather than constitutionally-supported facts.
Apparently "Shall not be infringed" is too tough for the author to understand.
John O. McGinnis is attempting to BWB (Baffle With Bullshit).

Sure, there exists circumstances that provide the "justification needed to set the natural right [of keeping and bearing arms] aside...". The same justification that we use to set aside other natural rights of the individual -- his criminal behavior. We traditionally try an accused criminal by a jury, and if he is found guilty we impose a penalty for the proven guilt.
It may be to set aside his personal liberty, and freedom to "pursue happiness" by incarceration. It could also lead to his right to life itself being revoked by the state.
Let's keep the "justification to set aside rights" on an individual level, not the collective mindset of the socialist planners.
