Next by definition, only law abiding citizens, obey laws. As I mentioned, the vast majority of gun deaths is suicide. Of the remaining, the vast majority is bad guys, including felons, who cannot legally purchase firearms. Statistics show this category of criminals, which comprises nearly all of the remaining gun deaths in our country, obtain their guns from Black market and from stealing them. You can pass any law that you like. It will not affect them by definition. They do not undergo background checks because they will fail. They steal their guns and they buy them on the black market. So what good is your background check? what good is your law that requires someone at home to lock up their guns? Those laws are meaningless to people who do not obey laws. You will only restrict law abiding citizens from having the ability to defend themselves.
