It protects the rights of gun owners over the rights of victims.
Incorrect. The rights of gun owners are at odds with victims, only in your mind, because you have only one thing in mind - prohibition - which the criminals doing the killing will completely ignore, as they already ignore the prohibition of murder.
Your position can be correctly equated to:
"A fox ate my chickens, so lets go after wolves since they have claws and teeth too, even though they aren't eating my chickens. As soon as we go after the wolves the fox will surely fall into line."
That is your logic. It speaks for itself, but it certainly doesn't say anything good.
