willing to accept that there are too many illegal methods of firearm acquisition

Agree !  
Just as illegal methods of accusation occur with just about anything.

outlandish far right or left stances and go even further with ridiculous comparisons

Many comparisons are not ridicules.
As well as Phrases:
Like the often used: ‘Enforce the laws already on the books’

Another example, some, will say is, ’ridicules’.

A Felon (who is released from jail) walks into a gun store.
(At that point they have already violated Federal law)
They fill out a 4473, (for the purchase of a gun) which they LIE on several places.
The dealer calls it in, they are ‘Denied’,  Dealer tells them they are Deniened.
The Felon says, ‘OK See Ya’ then leaves.
What do you think will happen ?
(I’ll tell you,  NOTHING)

A Person walks into a bank,  puts their hand in their coat pocket, with a finger pointing through the fabric.
Says to the teller, ‘give me all your money’
The teller says, ’NO’, ‘I know that is a hand in your pocket’.
The person ‘asking’ for the money says, ‘OK see ya’ then leaves.
What do you think will happen ?

Both people attempted to commit a, Federal Crime.
One is prosecuted, the other is not.
(gee tt would call that, ‘Racist’)

I was in Wal-Mart on the soap aisle.
Lady working there, straightening stuff up.
I walked up and asked where the Tide pods were. She showed them to me, pointed out the different quantity containers.
You should've seen her face when I asked if they had any Snack Packs.

I don't have the cure
I know more laws are not I
do you think the mary jane black market has subsided in recreation legal states?

Are you serious?  Do you have any idea what context is?

I was not saying "the problem is mn."

In context - The problem is mn - I do know how it works.

Now, I will admit, the hyphen may be poorly placed, but anyone (except you, I guess) can see that I was stating that I do indeed know how face to face transfers work.

You naively think that all those good ol' boys are gonna do their due diligence.  That's hilarious!

... I have been offered gun trades for bikes ...

You used the word, HAVE,
So that means you did not ?
So did you do, YOUR, due diligence ?

"Look at the idiots swallowing laundry detergent. Do we need to have background checks just to be able to buy a box of detergent to do our laundry?"

 If they kill 50 people in a nightclub with laundry detergent then yes.

They never do - that's the point.

The good ol' boys in Indiana are more than happy to sell a gun to a gang banger from Chicago for three times what he paid for it.

We had nearly 4 dozen shootings this weekend in Chicago.  You think all these idiots went to a show and billy bob sent in his forms?  Hell no.

The availability is the problem.  Too many guns are available to these thugs - and no local "gun safe zone" or local laws are going to stop them.

Every single gun should be registered - no exceptions.

Well, they're already "supposed" to be registered, and the "why" is obvious - billy bob won't sell a gun registered to him to some gang banger.  But currently, that system is flawed.

The "how" is the flaw.  It's obviously easy to file the serial off a gun.  But it's pretty safe to assume that there are other ways to "fingerprint" a gun.

Every week, in Chicago alone, there are dozens of guns recovered from arrests and raids.  If those guns, with their serial numbers ground off, could still be traced back to the person that initially purchased it - that would deter illegal sales.
