Your statistics demonstrated that they were purchased legally by a straw purchaser, purchased illegally by a criminal, and used in a crime ... None of the guns were purchased legally to be used in a crime.
The problem isn't that these guns are available for sale legally, the problem is that they are for sale illegally.
Edit: To use an analogy ...
Several years ago it was common (locally anyways) for criminals to steal trucks to crash them through the walls of pharmacies to steal narcotics. Would you argue that the problem was with the availability of trucks, how easy it was for these trucks to be stolen, or with criminals having motive to steal narcotics from pharmacies?
