Actually I know a lot more about this than you do.
There is a huge criminal business of supplying guns to criminals. And it is almost impossible to stop because we don't have licensing and registrations laws. If a city passes a gun control law then all you have to do is drive a few miles or order one on the internet.
Imagin trying to enforce stolen car laws if there were no registration requirements for owners of cars. That is what law enforcement is dealing with right now. No one is afraid to sell a gun to a criminal because it can't be traced back to them. If police stop a car with a load of convicted felons and guns all they need is one non-felon to claim ownership of the guns.
The NRA does not support gun ownership for law abiding citizens. Criminals are a huge market for guns and the NRA just cares about the profits of gun makers instead of public safety. That is why they fight so hard to make sure criminals have such easy access to guns.
