I agree, I think the "right to bear arm's" should be limited to possibly a shotgun, rifle and/or pistol, maximum, and the rifle has to be hunting purpose specifically. I think everyone should have a right to own a gun, but not 8 ak47's, that's just...screaming a problem.
Thing is, some Americans believe they have a right to be able to defend themselves not just from robbers or bears, but also from a regular military force. Either American or foreign. They consider it possible for the US government (along with the police and military) to go corrupt (think Mexico), or for Russia/China/Mars to overcome the US military and have only the people with 8 AK47s (and other goodies) to oppose them. And then there's the post-apocalypse survivalist crowd...
To these people, the government using cases like this mad shooter to forbid anyone from owning more than a popgun, is a sure sign the government is thinking totalitarian thoughts. Doesn't help that Obama heads it at the moment...
