"...severely restrict..." >> Yeah, that'll happen! 
"...fewer guns..." >> No matter what fraction of what is now sold, 1/2, 1/10... how does selling even 1 more gun reduce the 280,000,000 now in private hands in the US? (more on this below under bogus logic)
"...making the rich a lot richer..." >> Anything that doesn't make opportunity level is hurtful in any sense. 
"...bogus logic..." >> That's me believing that someone who sees "fewer guns" as a solution to anything stopping their campaign of control anywhere along the spectrum where more guns are sold.

"...Terrah watch list..." I bet Ted Kennedy is still on the list and he's dead.
Government is not the answer to every problem. Unless you believe that most people are selfish, antisocial, murdering thieves, the best hope for society is the liberty and respect we now have and any thing that will encourage and expand them.

To quote Lord Acton: "Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end."
Government is never a solution, only a compromise.
