If the government ever did decide to go after our guns, they might actually get them from us, but they wouldn't get the firearms they were really after. Criminals don't register their guns and they do not obey any laws but their own. I am not giving up my guns so that some low life can fearlessly break into my home and steal everything . Neither will anyone else I know. Anti gunners may not like it, but that is the reality of living in a free society.
Tragedies happen every single day.
It's just the price we pay for living in a free society. I am definitely not saying what happened in Oklahoma was right, but to restrict things because they could hurt someone never works. Personally, I could go into a normal children's school room and find 100 different seemingly normal objects that could be used as weapons. It isn't the guns that are the problem, it's the people. Just the presence of a gun in the hands of a potential victim stops thousands of would be crimes every year.
