You seem to be confusing the term "regulating" with the term "prohibiting." That's just naive. And I'm afraid a bit simple.

If the feds gave a few thousand multi-million $ grants to groups to study the most effective means to abolish gun ownership in this country, and nothing to the pro-gun groups, you'd feel differently.

"Regulation" doesn't have to hit you on the head with "we prohibit" language to be 100% effective in securing the government's goals.

If you don't believe me, you give $1 million to everyone on your street that does not paint their house green, then count the number of green houses.
