strict background checks of all potential gun buyers increase violent crime,
decrease violent crime or have no impact on violent crime?

government background checks are implemented, who should be prevented from
buying a gun? Should be it just convicted felons and those with serious mental
health issues, or should more people be prevented from buying a gun?

name and address of all gun owners in the country?
5* Over the
