"Did you see the teeth on that wolf?" piped up one of the sheep.
"Those teeth were long!" replied another.
"Those teeth were sharp!" bemoaned another.
"Those teeth looked just like assault rifles!" lamented yet another.

Then the smartest sheep in the room (if you don't believe me, just ask him) stood up and said "That wolf could never have done this if he didn't have any teeth.  We need to ban ALL teeth! It doesn't matter that the Second Commencement says we are all guaranteed teeth; from this point on NO ONE can have teeth!"

So the sheep banned all teeth.  All of the sheep got rid of their teeth.  Pulled them right out and threw them away.  Then they all got together afterwards and smiled at each other, clapped each other on the back and bragged about how safe they just made the world.

And then they all ran for re-election.

And they all got re-elected.

And they KEEP getting re-elected.

Because there are enough sheep out there who erroneously believe that the wolf is going to pull his own teeth.

Gun control laws only prevent law-abiding people from owning guns.  Law-abiding people who own guns are NOT the problem.  I'll willingly give up my guns when you find a way to pass a law that legit makes the wolf pull his own teeth.
