Great. Then why are you arguing (and white knighting) for people and policies that do the exact same thing?

Because it's not the exact same thing.

As noted above, limiting the ability of the government from searching and seizing anything it wants is a foundational principle in every advanced western democratic society. Put crudely, there's no country that you or I would ever tolerate living in that doesn't adhere to that principle.

But the same is not true of firearm ownership. There are a number of advanced western democratic societies that have eliminated firearm ownership (or nearly so), and they're still pleasant and worthwhile places to live. Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore.....all have their faults and blemishes, but none of them are horrible places.

Your hypothetical proposal is literally just that - a thought experiment that no livable society would ever actually implement. But complete elimination of civilian ownership of firearms is something that's actually been implemented in several countries, without really horrible consequences.
