I don't think tougher gun laws would stop anything...
Case in point... If I wanted to purchase a new gun at this very moment, for whatever nefarious, or sane reasons. This is what I would have to go through both legal or illegal routes.
LEGAL
1. Wait for store to open at 10 am tomorrow.
2. Select firearm
3. Fill out paperwork
4. Have ID and background check completed.
5. Pay out purchase at retail pricing
6. Leave store
7. Return a few days later when paperwork is cleared.
8. Receive newly purchased weapon.
ILLEGAL
1. Call local 'hook-up'
2. Call local 'hook-up' (he was asleep first call, but shit's going down, I need a piece now)
3. Drive to meet hook-up
4. Select Weapon
5. Pay far less then retail.
6. Wait for print wipe, and new tape on handle. ( hook-up was kind enough to pre shave serials)
7. Shoot and throw operation ready.
