And another thing, I don't see any serious danger of guns being banned in this country. Over regulated, perhaps, but not banned.

"Over-regulation", as you call it, is just the slow path to a ban.
Obviously at this point people would not support an outright ban... "cold-turkey", so to speak.
But it has been proven by other issues that they WILL tolerate small, seemingly insignificant restrictions that are presented under the guise of being "good for society"... The anti-gun politicians are WELL AWARE of this loophole in public acceptance... And they will take advantage of it.
Keep adding those little pieces of legislation to the pile slowly enough, and most of the public will not notice until it's too late.
One day we'll wake up, and it will just be SO damned difficult to legally own a gun, that the net effect will be the same as a "ban".
