How do you focus on the "behavior" of people committing homicides with
guns if you don't know who has the guns in the first place?

Almost all of those guns are illegally owned. It is totally naive to
think that a new law or two will change that.


How many of those illegally owned guns started out as "legally" owned guns?

It's a start. All it involves is a requirement for a background check
and registration of the firearm to establish a chain of custody.

No big deal and no infringement of anyone's "rights".
