Loopholes enforcing Gun Laws

There are many loopholes in our government today enforcing gun laws around the world. People are still able to smuggle and get their hands on guns one way or another and even if they get locked up for it. People arent being penalized for what they did. Bloomberg had also stated his statement that there were loopholes in our governement today as well because people somehow are still able to purchase a gun with or without a license to do so. Studies show that 70% of the crime rates are due to guns, and about 25-50% are unlicensed dealers. They don't really care about doing background checks, or any of that to take safety precautions. On another note, some cities have already banned guns completely to prevent trouble. "This argument has some appeal to those seeking an easy fix to mass public shootings. But mandating background checks at gun shows will not reduce crime significantly. Rather than closing a loophole in current law, mandatory checks will be a step towards banning private firearms sales between individuals. "
They created a system called the National Instant Check (NIC) and it is a national database containing records of people who are disqulified from receiving firearms. Here is the following process: "Under NICS, dealers must clear every firearms purchase through a background check of the prospective buyer by the FBI. The dealer calls NICS and provides an operator with: (1) his Federal firearms license number and unique password; (2) the potential buyer's name, date of birth, sex and race; (3) and the type of gun to be transferred, handgun or long gun. The operator checks the data against NICS's database of prohibited persons and either approves or delays the sale. A delay indicates that the check turned up information that requires further review by an analyst, who by law has up three business days to approve or deny the sale - longer than the duration of most gun shows, which last over a weekend". In conclusion, gun control advocates are seeking to close nonexsisitent loopholes, in other words to close down private firearm transfers to minimize the crime rates and what not.
