We aren't talking about "taking away gun ownership rights." The second amendment is not going away. Why are you going to worst case scenario, an extremist position. How do you explain the fact that the European countries with stronger gun control laws than us have not gone the way of "tyrannical government, loss of freedom of speech, etc.?"
"....Oceguera resigned his NRA lifetime membership in a letter to LaPierre, which he posted on his campaign website http://www.johnoceguera.com/2015/12/03/why-im-resigning-my-nra-membership/. "Our country is facing a tragic gun violence epidemic, and we cannot ignore it. Still, the NRA opposes any legislation that would help keep guns out of the hands of terrorists, criminals and the mentally ill, and spends millions to stop any action in Congress that could help prevent further violence," he wrote. "I cannot continue to be a member while the NRA refuses to back closing these loopholes."

It's not wholly unexpected that meddling around in the Middle East would bring blow back. People feel unprotected. If you have a break in it often takes a while for police to show up.

So I wouldn't blame Obama for this other than carrying on the crap the Neocons started. And if you want to ban guns how are you going to pay for it? Guns cost money, sometimes a lot of money. People would want to be compensated for turning them in. And I still argue that the right for a citizen, even ones I disagree with, has prevented the US from being taken over in a coup d'etat.
