That doesn't work. It's incredibly difficult (and expensive) to buy legal guns here, but incredibly easy to get illegal ones. I think we're in the top 5 in the world for murders committed with a firearm, and they couldn't make it any more difficult to get a legal firearm if they tried.
The poorest of the poor living in the slums who have no money to buy one illegally, make their own single shot pistols and kill a lot of people with them, one shot at a time.
There are too many guns now in the USA to try to make it more difficult to buy because you can still get them on the black market or at gun shows. Maybe 50 years ago it would have worked, but not now. Pandora's box is open.
