We do not have a gun problem, we have a black problem. If you adjust black crime out of the equation we have one of the least violent societies.
And we have a revolving door justice system problem that keeps the violent criminals out on the street. In Chicago the police present about FIFTY good, clean cases of felon in possession or possession in the commission of a felony for every ONE case that is prosecuted as such.
Government has no more right to license our ownership of guns than it does to license reading a newspaper or attending church, for example.
Repeatedly throughout the 20th century gun license lists were used to seize arms from the public when a despotic government came into power. For instance Jews in Europe were in grave danger under Hitler's gun licensing scheme and the public in general came into grave danger when POL Pot seized civilian arms.
As for Class III weapons we are not allowed to keep them in the sense that we are allowed to keep other arms because no more are allowed to be made for private ownership and with only a couple hundred thousand in circulation the supply is so restricted that only the wealthy can own them. They managed to pull off this infringement by starting off with licensing the NFA arms.
