I would think that would be a pretty adequate incentive.

Same reason most of us have insurance. Hope you don't need it but just in case your house gets wiped out ..... nice to have.

Exactly HOW is this going to prevent a situation like what happened in CT? HOW is this going to get weapons out of the hands of criminals??

It won't...all it does is create another unenforceable law causing a certain group of citizens to spend MORE money on something that won't work.

Most criminals have a background. If you go through a check before buying you would be rejected. No gun. Can't go to Craigs list or anything else because of the back ground check ... no gun. Can't break into a house and find a gun because they are all locked up.... no gun.

It will take quite some time (several generations) due to the volume of guns in the US but eventually, the bad guys will find it harder and harder to find guns.
