A much less sizable part thinks it's okay to limit local computing. There isn't a widespread push to make it so local hardware is limited in ways that they're not allowed to, for instance, run programs that can hack systems. These programs are very deliberately allowed, and it's people misusing them that are held responsible.
Regardless of anyone's instance on gun control, it's probably wiser to compare AIs with something that's a little more similar to it, and try to reach a conclusion from there.

While the point is well taken, it might be well to consider that according to some of the major rhetoric, the AIs are perhaps (far?) more dangerous than guns.
And so it may be an interesting position to adopt or consider in argumentation.
In the sense of: "ok if we concede the danger for sake of argument, then how shall we treat this?"
