You're missing the point, as usual.
How do you suppose you get all the illegal handguns off the street if countries with near gun bans can't do the same?
How does disarming law abiding people work with people who have no concern for the law anyway?
A lot of the time the gun is legally purchased in one State, Brought to another, reported stolen or just sold to someone on the streets. The bad guys usually get the gun from someone that can just go get one legally.
Checks on these people can revel what they were up to, for instance a guy keeps reporting guns stolen or cannot account for his weapons. Right now those checks are lenient and maybe too much.
Nothing will stop it, but better legislations can reduce it. Obama was correct when he stated that guns are too easy to get.
Being able to sell a gun and have no recording of it is stupid.
