Gun control is gun centralizaiton. Need guns to enforce gun control. Need guns to enforce taxation. I'll give up my guns when the government gives up their guns.
To be more specific, I'm not opposed to more checks and balances - strong background checks, closing gun show loopholes, etc.

Background checks remind me of free speech caveats that ban advocating violence against the government or support for an enemy of the state. Free speech as long as you don’t threaten the dickweeds in control is almost meaningless. A background check is basically like do we think you would be inclined to use it. Selling guns only to people who don’t want to use them defeats the purpose or at least what I see as the purpose: Mao’s barrel of a gun thing.
