One of the main issues here is what type of availibility can be legislated 
against with the greatest effect? Obviously, legislating against legal 
purchase has not done squat.  Why legislate at all?  Most criminals get guns 
through illegal channels.  Enforcement of existing laws would be more 
effective against this than passing more legislation aimed at the wrong crowd, 
and then not enforcing it anyway.
