Another problem with gun laws?
Gun control does not necessarily mean that anybody has to turn in their gun. I also seriously doubt that there are many people who think gun owners are potential murders who can go postal at any minute.
There is a very wide range of possible gun control measures - you could have registration and registered bullets, you could have triggers locks (though these may be unreliable) you could have waiting periods, you could ban certain people from having guns (e.g. people with previous convictions, or psychologically unstable people).
On the other hand, the way I read the US constitution I don't think there is much which could be legally done in terms of gun control.
