Do background checks drive criminals to possess guns illegally?

Background checks are important, first of all, because we don't want to make it easy for a dangerous person to buy a gun. And the fact that the Brady background checks have stopped over 1.4 million people from buying a gun legally shows that those background checks do work and need to be strengthened. Certainly is someone has been stopped because of a Brady background check, then they may attempt to buy a gun illegally. Not everyone's got that much stick-to-itiveness and dedication, but because of that we also need to look at the illegal marketed guns and make sure that we're taking steps to stop that illegal market in guns. Let's make sure the people that are dangerous aren't buying guns legally and then let's do everything we can to make sure they can't buy the guns illegally also.
