Again, this is a process, and without good ideas and methods to overcome problems, the problem of gun violence still exists.
It is not only MASS gun violence, but also unauthorized gun usage such as children obtaining and firing firearms that have injured and killed other children as well as others.
This country needs to address this problem, just as it has addressed car safety and other things of mass consumption: food and drugs to mention just a few.
There are many ways of doing things, but when there are differing statutes, in differing areas, there are always going to be "cracks" in the legal system that allows the criminal element to obtain firearms without much trouble.
There will always be a criminal element, but that should not put the brakes upon an effort to do things that will prevent more unnecessary deaths.

The point is that many of the things that are suggested are not going to prevent more unnecessary deaths and in fact put good law abiding people in jeopardy by making it more difficult for them to get a gun with which to defend themselves.
It is not "cracks" in the legal system that allows criminals to obtain guns. Criminals simply don't follow the law. Laws don't affect them until they are caught. But they don't prevent anything.
