Background checks do not stop criminals who don't buy through an FFL or people who haven't committed their crimes yet. Background checks are not an effective tool at preventing crimes.

Is anyone suggesting that this murderer did not conceal his handgun (a Hi-Point in .40 S&W) because he was denied a concealed carry permit a few years ago? Because murderers don't care about how many laws they break.

Be safe.
No! More laws are needed! That way he'll stop and think "I was going to kill a ton of people, but these new laws? I don't want to break those."
