pretty easily.
the background check worked very well, it deterred the murderer from gaining access to guns.
Murderers generally don't go to the store, buy a gun under their name, then kill someone with it. The batman shooter did, but unlikely. Besides, you can just buy them off the street, steal them, or create some other death device, such as the bombs he planted.
if people were subject to harsh penalties for not securely locking up their guns around mentally ill people, i bet more people would lock them up securely. lots of people follow the law just for the sake of following the law.
Agreed, I think there should be punishment for a case by case basis when you are negligent with firearms. I just don't think imposing more regulations on the entire population is sensible. Harsher punishment isn't gun regulation, though.
