Remember that some of the controllers / prohibitionists really don't believe in the whole concept of using a firearm for self-defense.

Or because they are a Buddhist or pacifistic, everyone else must be one also. Some even want to largely disarm the police ala the UK, and are naive and foolish to believe that will ever happen here.
