That's the legal ones. In Canada, gangs buy illegal guns, and they aren't subject to any rigorous checks or conditions.
It seems to me the regulations are for the honest people. As you said, in the USA, I don't know that this can keep them out of hands
of people who shouldn't have them.
The other frightening trend here is that clearly some of these people who want to kill a bunch of civilians, but haven't had access or money
to get guns, so they've stolen trucks, cars, or vans and drove into crowds. That's now a "thing" too, and once these things spread,
they become more likely to keep happening.
