Oh, I entirely agree. It just seems absolutely nuts that the US government (or rather the state governments, because ultimately they'd be dealing with it) cannot attribute a gun to a purchase because they've specifically made it illegal to do so.
When you're dealing with that mindset, no wonder gun control measures as unremarkable as mandatory safes and training are anathema.
