Yes I'm sure these laws banning all kinds of guns will be effective in reducing crime, just look st the amount of success the government has at keeping narcotics out of the hands of our youth through their war against the drug trade. In fact Washington has been SO successful in its efforts, that its led to some states to take the approach towards legalization. However, go on with how criminal's couldn't possibly get the hands on an assault weapon. No it couldn't be possible in the mind of a liberal. By the way, Maryland has some of the strictest laws in the nation, yet they managed to come up with a record homocide rate last year.
Sarcasm aside.......you placed yourself in a corner of your own making....
First NO ONE has stated to ban "all kinds of guns".....Only the guns that are military-style whose only real purpose is to kill people effectively and fast.
Second, I agree that a criminal can get such a weapon ILLEGALLY....and that what you and your ilk have done, is to make it perfectly LEGAL....so why bother smuggling such a gun from Mexico or somewhere else when folks like you have made it so fucking simple.
The war on drugs has failed......but is has placed thousands of people in prison for the sale and distribution. Wouldn't a ban on SOME guns make their availability just a bit more difficult? Right now, all a criminal has to do is to walk into a gun show and walk out with such a lethal weapon.
BTW, your GOP congress voted down NOT selling such guns even to people who are in the NO-FLY list...In other words, you cannot fly as a terrorist...but thanks to the NRA, a terrorist is free to buy a gun.
