They may not be able to "rein in all the guns" for all practical purposes, but they certainly can pass laws that make life miserable for otherwise law abiding citizens. Look at the disaster that happened in New York with the implementation of the Orwellian-named "SAFE" Act. Since 2013, people lost entire retirement accounts worth in collections of antique firearms over bogus legal disputes.
