At least have a national background check before allowing the person to buy a gun, and yes, that includes private sales and gun shows.
Your argument that criminals don't follow laws therefore we should not enact those laws is outright idiotic. Imagine if we applied that to all other laws. "Everyone speeds anyhow, so why post speed limits and have cops waste their time giving out tickets?" hey, the free market will sort out those who can drive from those who can't right?
I realize we repealed the 18th Amendment because everyone was breaking the law anyhow, but that does not mean it's OK to turn all of the country into the wild west just because a few wackos want to have more guns than people.
