All these laws will do is make it harder for the decent people to buy them.  I am an honest guy.  I have nothing on my record.  I don't have any history of violence, drug or alcohol abuse, domestic violence.  Why should I have to jump through hoops and go through mental examinations and long waiting periods or whatever else is being proposed to purchase another gun?  I have plenty of guns already.  Me buying one more isn't going to change anything.

Meanwhile anyone that wants to (including me) can get guns without background checks, mental health screenings, waiting periods, or the like...and you don't think that anyone that fears not passing the above or don't want to face the inconveniences of above wouldn't use those avenues instead?

The illegal gun trade is heavily bolstered by lax gun control areas and laws that simply allow people to buy guns legally and then re-sell them at an inflated rate to those that wish to break the laws.  Where do you think illegal guns come from? I could illegally buy a gun within the hour, but I assure you I'm going to buy it from someone who bought it legally. That's just me though, I don't know where other people dig these things up.
