THIS is EXACTLY why we have 'Sleeping Policemen' Speed Bumps on many urban roads where the 30mph Speed Limit is CLEARLY posted at regular intervals - they are there because the lawless do not give a Flying **** for laws so still speed.
NO amount of Gun Restrictive Laws will stop the CRIMINALLY INTENT from buying guns illicitly on the Black Market or stop them from USING them.

It wouldn't make it impossible but it would make it more difficult, and that would
dramatically decrease the number of these incidents. Literally all of the data from countries where guns have been banned demonstrates this. The only real difference in America is how deeply baked into the constitution etc. these issues are, and how many guns are already "out there", however, it would still mnake several practical differences.
Number one being... if someone currently sees someone walking down the street with a high powered AR, they don't bat an eyelid. If these weapons were banned - most would call the police and inform them that someone is walking around heavily armed. Those few minutes can make a huge difference.
