"Hey America, I know you guys are having a domestic terrorism issue: so why don't we make the people that contribute to society in a positive way less able to defend themselves?"
It's like you guys willfully ignore that there are literal fascists in this country that will not give up their guns.
On a very minor technicality, since society is a group of people, every person in that group contributes to society. Some of them contribute negatively to society but it is still technically a contribution.
All of that aside, given the recent state of human society, I feel like making property owners into felons for owning property that they legally purchased would only incentivize them to commit more felonious acts.
I have a .22 "rifle". Same gun as pictured, but shorter barrel with a stupid "handicap" stock to make it legal. After 14+ million of us bought one, the ATF said, "Nope. You're a felon." Aight. Mine stays in the safe at my private camp.
And what did we gain here? We took a .22LR, that constantly jams, and made me a felon for owning a thing I bought legally.
Well, I don't know about that, but I certainly have less respect for gun laws now.
And for you "high-capacity" mag banners; All of my guns, including this one, actually work far better with smaller mags. So... thanks for legislating that my gun makes killing more efficient?
Edited to account for the technicality.
