People that already obey the law.
The adminsitrative law of the church. Canon means rule. It has nothing to do with gun control.
There is no rational reason to implement a law against a tool.

Because of gun crime. The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed after the assassinations of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. It banned the sale of firearms to people who had been convicted, diagnosed with mental illness or dismissed from the army.
Your question asks for an opinion. My opinion is that gun control laws are based on a flawed belief that a person who will break laws regarding murder, robbery and rape will obey another law that says they may not have a gun. There are already about 20,000 Federal, State, and local gun laws on the books in the US. Gun control laws frequently do little except keep law abiding people from being able to defend themselves.
Depending on how you define expansive, in the US that would be the 1934 National Firearms Act, or the 1968 Gun Control Act.
I Hypothesize that if we didn't have gun control laws, and the government handed guns to those who abide to the law, there would be less gun crimes, since the usual criminal only cares about himself.
Take your pick. There are thousands of laws made in the past 100 years.
