You will never be able to completely stop all illegal and straw purchases, but punish enough of the ones that do, severely, and you can certainly contain it.

Of course you can. Are there tracable bar codes on every gun? If not, then make a system that makes EVERYONE along the chain of sale from manufacturer to middle man to criminal responsible for a crime. That should clean things up very quickly. If those who sell guns want to avoid prosecution, THEY will solve the problem.

I'm leaving the gun ban thing alone.

ok, thats a fantasy of mine, I don't really wish for people to shoot wildly in the streets.

Well, whatever the solution, we need to work towards the common goal of disarming criminals. I think we can all agree on that. Whether you or I have a gun is personal choice, but it's very important to remove weapons as powerful as guns from the criminal element.
