There are already millions of illegal guns lost in the ether. 200k guns stolen every year.
Short of banning and confiscating guns - which will probably never happen - nothing is going to change. The issue is just a political football for politicians to grandstand and bloviate. It's nothing but a bunch of ineffective proposals that won't change anything in a meaningful way, anywhere, and people opposing it pretending like it will and that it's treason.
It's a lot like the abortion issue. All the talk and debate accomplishes is to herd single-issue voters into voting blocs.
