I'm not sure what your point is here. The data shows that lots of dirtbags have guns, and few bought from from retail sources where they could have been background-checked. Entirely on its face, that would be an argument FOR more universal checks, on private sales or even transfers. What am I missing?

Assuming you were magic and could make that happen, yeah.

Guy Smith over at Gun Facts has a more persuasive presentation of this data, showing that 43% of crime guns are obtained by "underground and illegal" sources, none of which would be diminished by any new law; and only 25% by "person to person" transfer, many categories of which are entirely legal and would remain so under the proposed law.
