Eric,
Still waiting for your detailed reasoning behind what problem a registration system solves and how that works?
It enforces clear standards for legally obtaining, keeping, and maintaining firearms.

In the case of Dylann Roof, either his father gave him the gun, or his father gave him the money to buy a gun. If his father gave him the gun, he can be held liable for doing so. If Dylann bought the gun himself, he'd have to go through the registration process, which would involve training and exams. A mentally unstable person like Dylann might not have bothered.

Of course the criminals will find ways to get around the process, but that doesn't mean we can't have the process in place. Better than doing nothing, which is exactly what we've been doing over the course of these well-publicized mass shootings.
