In the Unites States, yes.

I personally do not hold this opinion, but many gun owners see gun ownership as an inalienable right and any attempt to limit or take it away as a violation of privacy and overreaching by the government.

I agree. To me the relationship is government over reach. I think it is too much to ask Apple to write a back door into their product. I can see getting a warrant to look at phone records etc. I am a gun owner but not fanatical, I am ok with some reasonable controls. The key in both cases, 2nd and 4th amendment restrictions is reasonableness. But that is always in the eye of the beholder, hence the controversy.
