Eh, it is easier to buy one. Besides, if I wouldn't pass a background check I'd get the gun some other way. As it turns out, criminals care very little about abiding by gun control laws. Just look at the areas with the strictest gun control, they also happen to be the places with the highest rate of gun violence.
