You have the right to private property, but you cannot own certain materials that are banned from private ownership (specifically due to risk of public danger). This isn't an infringement on property rights; it's about reasonable restrictions.
They aren't trying to take all the guns away; they're merely limiting the availability of certain firearms. And, as has been mentioned more than once here, most Americans support that.

Most Americans support that? /me laughs. Most Americans are on TFP, is that right?
We need to rip out all the gas lines in every single house. It's an explosive and a deadly inhalent. You could be a threat to your neighbor if you use them improperly. Same with the chemicals under your sink, your baseball bats, fuck it...lets ban knives like Europe. It's working out real well over there.
All my neighbors who had Obama signs planted in their yards are the same sheep who when the hurricanes come through every year nudge up to me because they know I CAN AND WILL take care of myslef and my family. The other eight months out of the year they all whimsically flail around here waiting for the government to take my nasty guns away from me.
Keep your chin up, sir. The government will take care of you. The police are only a phone call away. Sit tight, wait for them to come and handle the paperwork after the fact.
Oh and one last thought...ALl the weapons bans and limitations our dear president is wanting to impose upon us. Yeah, those don't apply to him. He'll still have his government security, paid for by me, with their weapons of their choice, protecting him. Why? Because he's better than you or me of course. He should have the right to protect himself on a higher level than you or me. Right? I mean his life is worth more, right? My beautiful, smart daughter...nah, fuck her she's a civilian. Besides, I might hurt someone If I have something rational and valid to protect her with. No way could I have the brains to handle a weapon as responsibly as the guys I pay to protect Obama. No way. I'm just a citizen.
