No record won't fix everything but should be required for all gun sales. Period. And the level of background check needs to be standard across the country. All gun sales should be recorded and background checks should be run.
No, that won't fix everything but it's a start toward some standardization of the laws regarding sales and ownership.
I don't own a gun because I have nerve damage that affects my shoulders, arms, and hands and therefore I know that I am not comfortable with my ability to handle a loaded weapon.
People who don't know you (the global you) don't know your history so they can't really be expected to make a judgement call on you if you are not behaving erratically.
The truth of the matter is that how 'normal' a person has been up until the time of purchase and at the time of purchase is no guarantee that they will always be sane human beings. Mental breaks can happen during times of extreme stress even to people who have never shown aggressive or violent tendencies. Brain injuries, other neurological accidents or injuries can't be foretold. Some mental illnesses have age ranges when onset begins.
We either remove every gun from everyone that we possibly can or we find a crystal ball that see into the future and predict unstable behavior.
We know...we know...your father shot a gun while you were in the house. You throw that out there when blaming CEOs and the NRA isn't working for you. It was obviously very traumatic for you.
As has been mentioned and you refuse to hear...the CEOs of firearm manufacturers do not enact laws. Do they have influence, no doubt...but they do not enact laws.
