Long Gun Registry

but the point of my statement is criminals get guns yes but from where? from ppl that are allowed to buy them and then resell them to the criminals. By registering all guns whether they be hand guns or long guns, you remove one avenue for the criminals from getting guns, for ppl that buy guns legitimately would think twice to selling them to ppl that are not allowed to own them. The harder you make it for a criminal to get a gun the better.

Most of them are stolen or smuggled in. Restricted guns(handguns) have been required to be registered for a long time now. Prohibited guns ( i.e. machine guns, uzi’s) are illegal to own unless they are deactivated. If a criminal has either one of these, it was probably brought in from another country.
