Pure fantasy. And no one is trying to ban guns altogether, only guns that do not belong in the hands of the private sector, those designed for military and police to kill people as efficiently and as many as possible.
By banning guns that "shouldn't" be in private hands, I assume you mean the AR-15. AR-15's are not military guns. They are semi-auto guns that are extremely popular, nothing more, nothing less.
The AR-15 (AR stands for ArmaLite, not Assault Rifle, common misconception), was designed for military use during the Vietnam war, but that version was fully automatic. The name was changed to the M16 after a few modifications, and the semi-auto AR-15 became available for civilian use. So no, the AR-15 was never a military gun. Police gun yes, why wouldn't you use it?
And for the whole government taking over thing, yes, it could happen. It can happen anywhere, at any time, and anyone too naïve to not realize that, deserves the concentration camp they are sent to.
