As to the other categories you stated, wouldn't it be of higher prudence to make the criminal use of a weapon illegal instead of mere ownership?
So i'll ask again, how do you define illegal ownership?

If the guns in the back of a car were obtained illegally, which is implied, then the sale is not covered by the lack of a purchase permit. The idea is that people who would not pass background checks are bypassing that system in order to obtain weapons. Did you even read this:

Would you take issue with this situation or allow it? Because it's starting to seem as if you're okay with gang members being armed.

I'll tell you what, why don't we take all of the ex convicts who were convicted for using firearms in their crimes move into your neighborhood and let them have guns. Then you can tell me about how gun ownership shouldn't be regulated.
