I honestly don't get the debate with Gun Laws, allowing a lunatic with a criminal record to be able to go into their local Gun store and buy a Gun without much regulation is not just insane, but is basically the American Government encouraging innocent civilians to get shot to death. If they really care about their people they would regulate who can own a Gun or not, and certainly not compare to something as trivial as Homework.

The law is that folks with felonies and domestic violence convictions aren't legally allowed to own a gun. The agencies are not reporting to the ATF database, which is what all background checks run through. For example, the Air Force didn't report the convictions relating to the Sutherland Springs shooter. I'm not sure what the rationale is behind the debate... in the case of most shootings, there are major failures in terms of applying laws on the books, much less with reporting to the database, so the solution is probably to apply the laws that we already have and to pass red flag laws that would give the courts ability to allow law enforcement to remove the weapons from their home should there be a reason to with evidence presented by family, friends or others (even a simple suicide attempt)
