Yeah, you're missing the point.
Innocent until proven guilty is for courtrooms and applies to everyone accused of a crime in the U.S., even immigrants and visitors.
Remember that "well regulated" part of the Second Amendment? Well, it allows the government to restrict firearm sales to court-declared mentally ill people, to restrict sales to people dishonorably discharged from the military, to restrict sales to minors, to restrict sales to those with restraining orders against them........many of whom have not been found guilty of committing a crime. Instead, they've been deemed a risk to public safety. Perfectly Constitutional, as would be restricting firearm sales to potential terrorists (natural born or not).
