And a lot of things that sund like good ideas are actually good ideas and are never sytematically abused by those in power. Regulation has improved safety and saved lives in almost every area of our lives. You can't just argue against a law because there was once a bad law that was abused.
Right now the government has immense power and control over our personal information and it is not being abused. No one is being arrested or having their property taken without due process.
There are currently other countries where they require gun registartion and have not outlawed gun ownership.
and finally, even when we di attempt to out law assault rifles we grandfathered in all of the current owners. That was one of the main reasons it was hard to see if the law had any impact. There were still thousands of "assault rifles" on the streets because the people that aready owned one got to keep it.
