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.

Full Auto Glock as I mentioned.. This one is built to the hilt with a add on stock and suppressor.
You don't think something like that would be a bit better for doing a drive by than a .38?
Why do you think these aren't used? It's because they cost money to convert, require skills/tools to do the work and automatic guns require federal licence. (ie they aren't easily obtained by criminals)
.38's are a dime a dozen because they are lightly regulated which means they can be produced cheap and are easily obtainable.
Don't you see how changing that by adding tougher regulation and stricter sentences for people caught with illegally obtained guns, would eventually curb the amount of gun violence in this country?
