A lot of the extra mild restrictions proposed in this thread by moderates would have had an effect on what happened, certainly. Why is the concept of a gun safe for every gun owner such a bother for you?
Next question is how many gun owners have 3 or more firearms? the whole argument that its a big financial investment for gun owners is nonsense. Simply pass on the 3rd AK, and get a safe.

I'll waste this last post to you, then I'm done explaining it to you and David...It is impossible to enforce all gun owners having a "certified" safe. The only thing you would succeed in doing is causing more money to be spent by law abiding gun owners, as well as countless regulations on what a certified safe should or should not contain. If someone wants to illegally get a firearm, they're going to do it no matter what the law says. That's been proven time and time again.
What you are proposing is nothing more than trying to appease emotions...
As for the number of guns someone owns...how many cars, or pens, or anything do you own? I personally own the multiples of same gun in multiple different configurations.
Here in PA, all handgun sales go through an FFL person, it's called a transfer. They don't track registrations, as it's against the law here...However, they track the transfer. Also,
some rifles must go through an FFL dealer for transfer as well. Again...they don't require registration.
