Just not the ones who actually sell the guns. Which is really the most important part of the equation, and it's not living up to what one would assume most people's wishes are, that being that those with criminal histories and unstable psych records not be allowed to make gun purchases.

I wasn't so much overlooking it as leaving it for another part of the discussion. No doubt some of these whacko's would seek out the illegal market, but there are of course more things that law enforcement in basically all countries but especially in the U.S. could be doing to crack down harder on that street market.
Personally speaking I can't wait for the day that every firearm sold to private citizens comes equipped with an uncircumventable and 100% reliable palm grip ID reader, rendering it unuseable if stolen but also fully traceable as well as digitally registered. And even then such a technology wouldn't solve every issue in this massive tentacled mess know as "the gun issue". But I'd wager it would help.
