I question the efforts of anyone trying to get rid of all gun laws. I know there are probably a few people, but from what I have seen they are confined to a fringe. Anyone arguing complete and free access to any weapon invented by mankind is not in the mainstream, that's for certain. so my point is that the real argument isn't all-or-none on gun laws, but instead is enforcing the laws we have now vs. a draconian banning of all guns. I agree with your logic in the above example (it is absurd), but I still make the claim that taking away all guns to keep people safe, as an argument, is logically the same as taking away everyone's ability to hurt anyone, which in practice is impossible and would be restricting to the point of enslavement.
