5. The gun that shot him started off as a "legal" gun

It entered pathways that put it in the hands of a murderer. How did that happen? What were the pathways, transactions, and conditions that moved that gun from point A to point Z? Can we close off those pathways while maintaining legal pathways for gun ownership? What protections can we set up to make those pathways more difficult to traverse, those transactions more difficult to conduct?

Oh, right, we're supposed to pretend that all these guns were "stolen" from law abiding gun owners.
