No...again you aren't using your head.
Criminals use a 38 special because they are CHEAP. And they are small and the best thing to use for a close up shooting (or just the threat of it). They are easy to get rid of and hard to trace.
Hasn't got a damn thing to do with "laws" or "regulations".
A full auto handgun isn't the best thing to use for a robbery. A 38 is.
Hell, I'm not really sure what the best application for a full automatic handgun (I don't even know if that exists) would be? Military maybe? But even military wouldn't make much sense.
Look, people are going to do whatever they WANT to do. Doesn't matter what "laws" a govt. makes. Never has, never will.
Having said that...yes, if the United States of America magically had NO handguns anywhere...then gun deaths would be gone.
And other forms of killing people would skyrocket.
