You don't get the main point of gun control. Gun control means vetting out bad people from getting the guns. Like driver's license, if you don't know how drive or regularly violated traffic regulations your license is revoked. Similarly if you have gun license, good people with proper training can get the gun. But people who don't follow laws will be banned from getting guns.

People who don't obey laws are already banned from owning guns.

And they are able to get those guns because there's too many damn guns out there.

Yeah, there are a lot of stories in the news that prove this insufficient. 77% of mass shooters from 1966 to 2019 obtained their guns legally. So great, the laws cover 23% of cases? You know what would happen to me at work if I only handled 23% of my job? I'd be fired.

Clearly new agencies & laws are required, old laws are not effective they need more scrutiny.
