I think most Dems (and many Republicans too) are happy with the guns they have/can legally obtain and don't think an AK-47 or bazooka are necessary items.
I worry much less about the improbable scenario of the government taking away all guns then I do about the real danger of crazy folks and homegrown terrorists being able to easily slaughter many people.
The Founding Fathers and early Americans had many rules about who could and could not have guns* - so I don't find it a betrayal of our history to legally bar wack-a-doos and convicted felons from owning them or show a modicum of common sense about it.
*Basically only white protestant males who owned property
