I'm all for gun laws governing "legally purchased" guns. but if that happens then you also have to find a way to deal with the illegal guns.
That to me is why you need extremely punitive gun laws and punishment for crimes involving weapons.
but its pretty rare that you see a member of the Crips or Bloods or Hells Angels going into a gun shop, filling our the forms and waiting for the release period.

There is little to no gun smugling into the US, their illegal gun market is wholly driven by legal firearms being sold ilegally, guns are so readily available through theft or just paying someone to buy a gun for you.
And gang members go out and buy guns legally like everyone else, grind or burn off the serial number and it becomes untraceable.
