I don't consider firearm ownership a right in any way shape or form, it very much is a privilege. If I want to maintain that privilege, I have to play by the rules and I have zero problem with that.

No one is concerned with the people who do it responsibly, but this equipment in the hands of people who don't has devastating concequences. And unfortunately, mitigating it would mean taking it away from responsible people as yourself. If you're unwilling to give that up for a much greater good that's an issue IMO. And as for other equipment with potentially devastating consequences:
Cars - we need to travel.
Knives - we need to cut things sometimes.
Guns - we need to kill each other?
People will find ways to off each other no doubt. It doesnt seem crazy to want to eliminate the most widely used tool to do so. To me it seems crazy not to.
