"Right now, there are a number of federal laws restricting various kinds of gun use. For example, felons, fugitives, people convicted of domestic abuse misdemeanors and people subject to certain domestic restraining orders are restricted from buying guns under federal law. And no civilians are allowed to buy newly manufactured machine guns."

Yeah, lets make sure all those people can get all the guns they want. Makes perfect sense to me. That guy who pistol whipped his girlfriend? Can't deprive him of his Second Amendment rights can we? I mean, what the hell, just 'cause a guy is convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and served time in prison is no reason to suspect that he just may use a gun for illegal purposes, right?

What I think is that you are in the wrong group.
