Does the criminal buy the gun from a gun store??? Does the criminal buy the gun from a private sale??? Does the criminal buy the gun from a gun show??? Then he has to pass a background check. If all guns were registered you could trace all sales, from the manufacturer to it's ultimate demise. So... if a gun is found in the commission of a crime... you could trace where it came from, eventually tracking it to a stolen gun or an illegal sale. |

Can you trace the guns back to Mexico or the rest of the ones coming across our border illegally from other countries? |

Quoted Text
Handgun owners in Los Angeles would have to keep their weapons locked in a box or disabled with a trigger lock under a measure aimed at protecting children that was given unanimous approval on Tuesday by the city council.
The provisions would not apply to people carrying a handgun or having one in their immediate control, such as when cleaning it.

Universal background checks does nothing to keep a gun from a law abiding citizen. And Most Americans Agree, Even The Majority Of Gun Owners.
universal background checks (what's the definition of universal) checks for what? Think about it....really really really think about......... ONLY THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AND CONVICTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN 'CAUGHT' AND DIAGNOSED AND SENT TO THE MEDICAL DATA CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!! I will ask.....who is your neighbor? what category do they fall in? what category do you fall in? and that's only at this precise moment, not the future....... |

Quoted Text
The proliferation of firearms is one of the factors behind a rise in homicide rates in many U.S. cities this year, according to senior law enforcement officials at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago.
Is it a coincidence that this conference took place in Chicago where the most restrictive of gun laws are enforced to no effect on the killings going on week after week. The problem in Chicago and other high crime cities is the illegal guns used by criminals and gangs, not the ones in the hands of law-biding citizens.
Quoted Text
CHICAGO (STMW) — Six people were killed and at least 28 others wounded in shootings across Chicago between Friday afternoon and Monday morning.
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/tag/weekend-shootings/Gun restrictions don't matter to the criminal element in society. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=682JLrsUmEM Fast forward to 2:53:00 -------------
Quoted Text
Complimenting this 20-year doubling of the number of guns owned by Americans is the fact that concealed carry permit holders nearly tripled between 2007 and now. According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, the “4.6 million” concealed permit holders of 2007 grew to over “12.8 million” permit holders in 2015. That means the last five years of the surge in gun ownership also coincided with a surge in carrying guns in public for self-defense.
And yet the murder/suicide rates did not climb by triple digits because law-biding gun owners purchased all of these new scary weapons. |

No Background Check... No Problem
“Gun-control advocates often cite that 40 percent of guns have been obtained by people without a background check … Harvard Injury Control Research Center director Deborah Azrael confirmed the 40 percent figure in terms of people who’ve acquired guns without a background check … Some preliminary data … provides context for this new 40 percent stat:”
~ Roughly 30 percent: Gun owners who did not purchase their most recent gun, instead obtaining it through a transfer (a gift, an inheritance, a swap between friends). ~ Roughly 70 percent: Gun owners who purchased their most recent gun. Among the gun buyers, about 34 percent did not go through a background check. Among the gun owners who got their firearms through a transfer, roughly two-thirds did not go through a background check. |

No Background Check... No Problem“The ATF puts out annual reports based on the number of guns recovered and traced to their original source. In those reports are maps illustrating how many guns get imported to a state, and which states are doing the exporting. In many of the states where background checks are required, you see a sizable population of guns still making their way in from states with no background check laws" |
