One of the best fantasy gun control metaphors I've ever seen was in Pokemon Black and White.
Team Plasma goes around spreading a wholesome message of Pokemon freedom, insisting that everyone release their Pokemon so they'll no longer be abused or mistreated by foolish humans. Their figurehead, N, fully believes this message and actively practices what he preaches. However, the whole thing is a scam by the shadow leaders of the team. Once everyone else has released their pet super monsters, they plan to move in with their own and take over everything unopposed.
The final message of the game boils down to: "The truth is that there will always be power abusers, so it's best that good people also have power so that they can fight for ideals."
