I will respond to you as you are behaving in such a way as to treat me as another human being instead of simply ranting and raving and assuming there must be something "the fook" wrong with me simply because I have a difference in opinion.
Absolutely a heck of a lot of gun crime is committed with illegally obtained guns. However, almost all of those guns were at one time legally owned and purchased. Lacking a registration process you never have a starting point with which to begin and investigation. My father had a .243 stolen back in the 70's. Had the gun been registered and possibly entered into a ballistics registry and then used for a crime there would at least be a starting point in terms of investigating the crime.
Most of my beliefs are based on personal experience. When I was a kid I was deer hunting with my family. The hunters on a neighboring piece of land were the kind of guys who all sat in a trailer and then if a deer wondered onto the property they would all jump out and start unloading their clips as fast as they could. Long story short one time a deer appeared was when we were driving the neighboring woods. I was just over a knoll about 250 yards from them. Whether they could see me or not they were firing directly at me. I ended up on my belly praying that none of the bullets whizzing over top of me and hitting the branches around me would end up hitting me. Every time someone brings up gun control I can't help but think back to that day. Had one of those bullets hit and possibly killed me I would have wanted my family to determine from whose rifle it was fired.
Now I realize in this case it would have been fairly easy to determine from where the bullet came since we knew where the shots were coming from if there rifles would have happened to disappear or if a situation were to occur where you don't know where the shot was from I would hope that a system could be set up to assist in locating the perpetrator. I also can't see how as a gun owner this is a huge inconvenience for me.
