If the law is changed requiring background checks for "ALL" firearm purchases, public and private, it will have no affect. Criminals don't follow the law...that's why there criminals


You say that criminals don't follow the law.
Many crimes are committed by people who aren't professional criminals. Many crimes are committed on impulse. That's why having loaded guns around makes a lot of difference.

Some crimes are predictable. When a man beats his wife and has a gun in the house, there is a good chance he will eventually shoot her. That's the point of Red Flag laws.

You mention hunting. One of the reasons the National Rifle Association and other gun groups don't make sense is that they refuse to distinguish between long guns, rifles and shotguns, and hand guns. Hunting is done with rifles and shotguns.

Hand guns are designed to kill people. They can be more easily concealed and more easily re-targeted.
