It does not make a distinction, so the government is prohibited from doing so as well...
The straw man, slippery slope argument for gun grabber apologists puts you in the same camp as Mrs. Clinton.
True story:
I use to contract houses and I was bs'g with the brick mason building the block basement wall. I happened to notice in his truck that he had a .357 magnum laying on his seat. I asked him what the hell he had a gun laying out in the open for?
He said one day some dog in the subdivision jumped in his truck and stole his sack lunch. Say he heard the commotion and looked up just in time to see the dog running off into the woods with his lunch in his mouth. He said next time he sees that dog he is going to "blow his ass up". LOL.
