They think that guns are the ultimate killing machines? They ain't seen nothing yet. Some evil bastard will come up with a new idea for killing dozens of school kids, and the copycats will follow.

All forms of government put out messages that government is responsible for the safety of everyone. School kids learn this from age six, by being bused, crossed by crossing guards, et cetera. Streets and parking lots are replete with signs assigning responsibility for pedestrian activity on the operators of motor vehicles.

Dad cannot teach his children how to hunt. He must submit them to a class run by an government agency which issues certification.

Think about all the things people must submit to in order to function. It all boils down to if something isn't right, the government has an agency for that.
