Gang members lie on Federal Background check forms, get guns illegally....gun control works?

You provided an answer that proves you have no clue.

The gun control in many nations, especially European, has been in effect for a long, long time and was put in place for political control not crime control.

Yes, it is a fact that nations with disarmed homogeneous, obedient and compliant subjects don't use guns to kill each other, but that isn't really a case study for enacting gun control here. Even in those nations the recent remedy of more "gun control" as a response to increased criminal misuse of guns, are ineffective and stupid.

Population sectors in those nations who do not have a nationalistic, instilled deference to the government, simply don't pay attention to those centuries old norms and the criminally inclined seek to evade and exploit those mere statutory hurdles. Just look at the Jamaican Yardies and Eastern European crime syndicates in the UK and the Assyrian Kings gang and its offshoots in Australia, they are not impacted in the least by the home nation's strict gun control . . .

The thought that the gun crime that is heavily concentrated in certain population sectors could be reduced by enacting more statutory prohibitions on everyone, including those who are not perpetrating the crime, shows a real lack of critical thinking a profound misunderstanding of crime and human nature.

High gun crime within insular population sectors is immune to blanket gun control.

To just say we (in the USA) need gun control while refusing to examine the behavioral and cultural reasons why gun crime is so prevalent, is dumb and will be celebrated by criminals and resented by the law-abiding who are not part of the problem.

Why did 1.7% of the US population experience 29.4% of the gun murders in 2019?

Is it just the availability of guns? If it was just the availability of guns why isn't the gun murder rate a constant across all demographic sectors? Why do young White men have a gun murder rate that is 20X lower than young Black men?
