Lars, I do not think you know the difference between a "asinine gun law" and "gun rights".  Guns do not have "rights" in the US, although surprisingly corporations do.  Without universal background checks how can you say anyone is a "law-abiding citizen"?  If a "law-abiding citizen" commits a crime, any crime, are they no longer a "law-abiding citizen" and subject to forfeiture of firearms?  No, not in this country.

The comparison to murder and law isn't stupid, its logical.  What about the "right" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for all?  

I own a few firearms.  A couple of hunting rifles and my son has an older rifle he inherited from his grandfather.  A pistol for bear protection.  That't it.  No shotguns, no high capacity magazines, no reloading equipment, grenades or rocket launchers.  Oh, and a few pocket and hunting knives, although we do not actually use the "hunting knives" for hunting.
