Which of those would have stopped yesterday's political assassin?
The one that would have prevented him from getting a gun.
When these events happen I am always interested in the trace back of the weapon, through its ownership and back to the manufacturer. That is an important set of information to have, and to aggregate, to get guns out of the hands of those that cannot use them lawfully. But that information never seems to be available. And it is not available to law enforcement either.
Instant background checks would have kept that particular Glock out of the hands of Roof before he assassinated a bunch of people for going to church. Let's see if we get the history on this particular weapon and I'll answer you more directly, but as of now the question really cannot be answered because too many responsible gun owners let the asshole gun owners get away with murder.
