I couldn't vote since you have to choose between no restrictions and outright banning...
I think our system is the best. Give the impression that guns are banned, and impose a lengthy process that assesses the user's knowledge of gun safety. Then give them the rights to use the gun only in the context of gun sport or keeping the local vermin population down. While there is some gun crime over here, cases of gun crime surrounding legally owned weapons is extremely rare.
Background checks won't do anything. What are they meant to check for, affiliation with terrorist organisation? Past murder convictions? They can't predict a shooting, they can only make a wild guess.
