"I think the focus on how fast a gun can fire as a vector of regulating it is a very dangerous angle. At some point, does the Ctrl-Left set a specific rate of fire and outlaw the production or ownership of any gun that fires faster than that limit?"

That's one obvious direction of the firearms control effort. There's the other effort toward giving bureaucrats more discretion to legislate, in effect, from their offices.
