Also, the idea that "people will just break the law anyway" is silly. It's one that gun proponents bring up a lot, but you could apply that to any law that we have.
I support the right to own guns, but things like registration and background checks are completely reasonable measures that have been shown to both prevent crime & help solve crimes after they're committed.
