108. Once again,
Yes, they DO have a value.

The 5th Amendment forbids such actions as you describe. Not just makes it difficult, but flat fucking forbids it. If what you suggest had any merit, it would utterly destroy the concept of any private property. All that would need be done is for government to make X illegal, and all of a sudden, anyone who owns X, no longer has anything of value and must give it to government.

Do you really not see the gaping hole in your logic?
