Gun owership has been legally controlled all of our lives. You are prohibited from owning a gun if you are a convicted felon, on parole, under indictment, and under a restraining order, just for starters. There are legal restrictions on the ownership of automatic weapons. You can not bring a gun in to a federal building, most state buildings, and the law allows a private business to ban guns at their place of business. You can not bring a gun on your person on an airplane. if you conceal it without a license in most states, you can be arrested. You can not "brandish" it, while arguing with your neighbor. Most cities have laws that make it illegal to discharge a weapon within the city limits unless at a licensed gun range. If you leave a loaded gun on the kitchen table and a child picks it up and discharges it, you will be charged with child endangerment, as well as other things if someone is killed or injured.
And yet, the NRA extremeists go into panic attacks and hyperventilate if anyone proposes to make 50 round ammo drums and cop killer bullets illegal.
