I wanted to address not this whole snippet but just the first part
'Why am I not allowed to own my property on my own land?".  Gun owners
are not singled out this regard - there are all kinds of rules as to
whether you can have a live chicken on your own land, for instance.  

No, I am not equating chickens with firearms or even explosives -
chickens are obviously much more dangerous... I just wanted to point
out that this can't be made a case of only gun owners being picked on
in terms of 'what you can do on your own land'.
