No one want's to take away all your guns. The people who are pro-control want to limit the killing power of the weapons you can own and the number of weapons.

If you want to go hunting, a single-shot is fine for everything but birds, in which case a double barrelled shotgun is fine. If you want to defend yourself a six-shooter is more than adequate. The odds of you coming out on top in that fight are long.

Also how weapons are kept is an issue. There are so many needless deaths where instead of punches being thrown, someone gets shot.

And then children who have shot people. These are the times we read about. How many times has a child fired a gun and not hit anyone?
