Dude, you are making Neil's point for him. The report says that people who undergo incredibly rigorous scrutiny before being allowed to have guns are amongst the most law-abiding people. So that's pretty much a gun control measure having its intended effect of keeping guns out of the hands of bad people, which is Neil's point. I think you're trying to use that article to support some pro-gun agenda, but the meaning is quite the opposite. 

I'm very much in favor of rigorous scrutiny being applied to each and every person who wants to own a gun.  That's gun control, and it works.
