I think a far more realistic argument would be to say that the authorities then told you that you had to hand over all your alcohol, because it was now illegal.
But really its a silly comparison to gun violence. Most folks don't want to "grab your guns". Even the california semiauto ban doesn't go to peoples homes and "grab their guns", just prevents future sales within the state. If you're moving to california from another state, you're free to bring your semiauto rifles with you, just have to register them. And, if you are moving to the state, you know the ban on semi auto purchase is in place, so its your fault for moving there.
I haven't heard to many people, even in the liberal side of the media, suggesting we have a gun problem or that we should somehow outlaw guns over this. The guy took a shotgun, killed armed security, took their weapons, and killed more people.
The guard was the weak point in the system. I feel terrible for his/her family, but the guard did not do their duty.

I guarantee that any day now obama will float a gun control "executive order" while yelling "ENOUGH!".
A better analogy would be: a 19-year-old killed someone while driving drunk. Solution: make it illegal nationwide for anyone under 21 to drink.
But of course only an insane freedom-hating tyrant would ever propose a law like that.
No, a closer analogy would be to not allow anyone who is under 30 to own a car.
