I find it interesting that the same people who (tend to) argue that prohibition is ineffective and you can't prevent someone from having access to something (like drugs) by making it illegal also tend to believe you can solve the problem of gun violence by making guns illegal ...
Now, I personally believe that laws can have a big impact on gun ownership of responsible and law abiding citizens while having a minimal impact on irresponsible gun owners and criminals; and any reduction in gun ownership of people with serious mental health issues that will (likely) result in mass murders will (likely) be negated by these people finding other ways to commit their crimes.
Essentially, the reason for this is the law can prevent a gun from being sold by a reputable store but (being that they can't stop 500,000 new illegal immigrants from crossing the border) there is no chance that they will be able to prevent people from buying illegally imported guns on the black market; and, as long as there is a demand for weapons in the United States, the market for these guns will ensure that they're still being manufactured somewhere.
