That's because, to most, "reasnoable" means "what I think is a good idea".
There is rarely any sort of objective standard to quantify this, and so "a good idea" is usually very subjective and almost always boils doen to "how I think it should be".
That's why I said that for a restriction be "reasonable" it had to meet two standards -- actually have some positive effect on gun violence and not violate the constitution -- else it is useless and/or unconstitutional; a useless and/or unconstitutional restriction could not, objectively, be held as "reasonable".
Strict scrutiny.
Must serve a compelling government interest (as in, society pretty could not function without it), and the restriction must be narrowly tailored to serve that interest and do nothing further.
