I don't think that gun control is the correct term in this situation. Technically Iraq is a nation in war. In war, you disarm you enemy. Searching the homes to remove weapons is a means of disarming your war time enemy.

"Gun control" also assumes an individual right found in nature to bear arms. The difference between gun control in Christian based nations versus Muslim based countries must be established before you can consider whether takeing guns from the Muslim population in violative of an inalienvbe right found in nature.

In the US belief system the right to bear arms was determined to be a right in nature given to man by God. This right is inalienable, cannot be infringed upon by government and is a protected right within in the Bill of Rights. I don't know, but I would be interested to know the philosophy within the Muslim religion. Did Mohammad preach that man has an inalienable right to bear arms for self protection from others and government?

I believe that you must answer "yes" to whether Mulsoms have an inalienbe right given by their god to conclude that taqking guns away is gun control. An individual must have a natural right to do someothing before a counter action can be deemed to "control" that right. Otherwise it is a right created by man than can just as easily be taken away in time of need.
