Laws obviously don't prevent criminals from doing things that break the law. No law prevents all crime.
But gun laws CAN reduce the prevalence of many of the most deadly guns in our society. The fact that crimes committed with the use of machine guns are virtually nonexistent is a testament to the effectiveness of the gun laws that regulate fully automatic weapons ownership.

My first reply to you literally stated that it's obvious that laws don't prevent criminals from breaking them.
Gun laws aren't about preventing crime in general.
@jeff @theorytoe
Banning fun? Seriously?
Do you oppose ALL weapons regulation?
@ademan @theorytoe @jeff @johngove
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but you'll never regulate me.
