you're entitled to feel that way. But politically it's a completely untenable position to take, because it would be highly intrusive into what is a cherished cultural practice for a lot of people, including liberals. It's also responsible for way more deaths than the availability of high capacity magazines and semi automatic rifles. The ownerships of those things just happens to be a cultural practice that most on the left have no use for, so they see no reason not to stomp all over it.
