9. Nonetheless, had he showed up with a handgun, say, a .44mag

revolver, which could punch a hole through a concrete wall, THAT weapon would be approved.

They are not negating his right to own a weapon, even an extremely lethal weapon. But they have the right to reduce the amount of firepower that is on the streets.

If I were a cop facing an armed thug I would be much happier knowing that the stolen gun he is using can only fire a half-dozen times before he reloads, rather than letting him get off 15-20 shots.
