I believe you are mistaken in your 90%.
By the way, there is a background check requirement whenever you purchase a gun from a licensed dealer.
Most folks do not have a problem with a background check, but that is very costly and does next to no good, other than to spotlight possible convicted felon purchasers. As far as a national gun registration, no way. No one is going to register their guns with the fear of the government possibly attempting to confiscate them whenever they please. Besides, most of your gun related crimes are perpetrated using unregistered, black market or stolen guns. You don't have to fear honest gun owners.....unless you are the bad guy.
