Not really, some I guess. Most laws are about what you can't do, you can't steal, you can't kill someone, I don't want to do any of those things so they don't impact me. The criminals ignore these laws but they are tracked down and punished.
In this case, banning guns would be a personal restriction that I wouldn't welcome.
Laws should punish people for doing things that are wrong, not change the lives of people who are doing things right. I don't think there has been a single case where the restriction of gun ownership has led to less violent crime -- in DC and most other places, gun restrictions correlate with an increase in volent crime.
