For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.
While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.
And even with all those security measures, handguns are still the most common weapons used in gun-related deaths.

As I've said before, regulations are -blam!- up. In my home state, I must be 21, have a valid driver's license, pass a thorough background check, and have attended a concealed carry class and earned the certification in order to buy a small 9mm pistol that carries ~13 rounds. It's a process that can take weeks.
However, I can walk into any store, show my driver's license, do a 5 minute background check, and walk out with a military-grade long rifle (such as an AR-15, M14, etc.) 5 minutes later with enough ammo to kill off a small town.
That makes 0. -blam!-. Sense.
They should carry over the same laws as for concealed carry, not banning guns, and not making them necessarily harder to get, but allowing more channels to be put in place to deter most from going through the work to attain a weapon. For the most part, though, most weapons used in shootings are purchased illegally and typically through a black market, rather than legitametly.
