Heck, there are websites that you can buy guns without a background check. These places get away with it because of a loophole in FFLs that allow them to sell assault rifles and the like that you have to assemble yourself. I've never purchased one in that manner because I don't trust them, nor would I ever purchase one in that manner.
I'll just simply say that I've always complied with government rules and regulations for firearms, but if the time came that it was either too big of a pain in the ass or illegal to purchase, I would go the illegal route.
I'm a big believer in the law, but the law can't do anything to protect my family or myself until afterwards.
The difference is clear.
Post a link to all the websites where I can buy heroine and we will compare it to the list I can post of where to buy guns. And to be 100% honest with you if heroine was legal I would use it. The only reason I don't use it is that it is not easily accessible. And that is because it is illegal.
Requiring registration of all firearms and sales transactions will go a long way to ward limiting the access to weapons for criminals. It will not make it impossible, but it will make it harder. It will also make any unregistered gun subject to confiscation. This would get a lot of weapons off the street because guns turn up all the time when officers are searching for other people/items and during safety pat downs officers do on people they are not even going to arrest.
None of this will keep a law abiding, sane person from owning a gun. It will just reduce the number of guns held by irresponsible people. It will also make sure that every person who owns a guns is properly trained. This makes EVERYONE safer. And finally people will be much more careful with how well they secure their weapons when they realize that anything that happens with one of thier weapons can be traced back to them.
