It can be argued that the only personal property specifically protected by the U.S. Constitution is firearms.

While the Fourth Amendment promises, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized," it does specifically allow for such seizure if the "i's" are properly dotted and the "t's" correctly crossed.

Similarly, the Fifth Amendment guarantees against a person being "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation," but again, it recognizes a process for such deprivation and taking.

The Second Amendment contains no such provisions for circumvention. The Second Amendment states that, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
