Here in my state, to purchase a gun you can either:

A). Go purchase it at a shop. They do background checks and no one with a felony or a class A misdemeanor is allowed to have one- So, "gun control" here is pointless. There's no problem.

B). One can purchase weapons from a private seller like at a gun show or your neighbor- here it is not very regulated. So, I'm certain any lunatic with a bad rap is using this route.

Know the facts that making a general law like "gun control" aimed at businesses, or simply restricting the amount of magazines or whatever isn't going work.

People are the problem, and some crazy lunatic is going to use whatever to kill someone else.

@SW-User and people that own loads of guns. Surely this could be controlled. Buying a gun for someone else, I wonder how much this happens?
