No shit. Normal weapons get into the hands of 14 years olds. People can get weapons without backgrounds checks and permits. The fact that a weapon is full auto makes it no worse then a semi. They can still kill, and very few automatice weapons can be used with any accuracy over a 3-shot burst. Armor piercing rounds are more dangerous if you ask me.
The only, and I mean only way to get rid of firearms, would be to erase the technology and history behind them. Take a page from prohibition. We/They tried to do away with aclohol, and it led to people manufacturing it themselves. A weapon is more difficult, but with funding, anythings possible. You can't eliminate something of this magnitude when its a part of the worlds history.
