I think 2 prime pieces of work has also been forgotten in this argument, 2 little somethings called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Maybe you've heard of them? Theres
something in the 2nd Amendment that says, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Now granted, I'm fairly certain we don't need a militia (or want one for that matter), and many people will say that doesn't/shouldn't apply to today because were living in modern times, and don't have to worry about bears or british or whatever attacking us. Well, you can't just throw out part of the Constitution just because you don't like it or because you think its irrelevant for today. By that logic, if someone says something I don't like, I should just ignore the 1st Amendment just because, "that was for then, when they were worried about the a repetition of the oppressing them like the British did," or something to that effect. You may not agree with a law, but until it gets repealed (and I'm fairly certain that no part of the BOR has ever been repealed), were going to have it and people are going to excercise their freedoms under it.
