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?

criminals send their relative, friends or whatever to buy their guns for them if you make it harder for the average guy to buy a gun you then make it harder for criminals to get guns is that so hard to see, so the point of baning guns mean only criminals will have gun doesn't make sense since they get their guns initialy from law abiding citizens.
The problem in the US is that they have way to many guns, which lead to waste, by waste a mean a lot of guns are not accounted for and are easly obtained by criminals if you cut the number of guns you cut the availibity to citizens and to criminals which lead to less gun crimes.

Suppose you're lucky enough to ban the legal sale and manufacture of these weapons, how will that prevent criminals from getting their hands on them in a world where you can print guns?

Just like how the copy machine was supposed to be the end of paper currency. You have manufacturers program in an inability to make firearms or firearm components into these 3D printers.
