If government regulations only effect law abiding citizens then why are so many people in jail for violating these regulations? That does not make any sense to me.

I am not restricting the rights of any law abiding citizens. They are still free to own any legal firearm just the same as they are now.
At this point it is impossible for a police officer to charge a person in possession of a stolen gun because a majority of the time the gun has not been reported stolen. We need additional regulation to make it possible to enforce the existing laws.
The fact that 80% of violent gun crimes are committed by a person who is not the lawful owner of the gun proves to me that we need some additional regulation to restrict criminals access to stolen weapons.
