That's exactly the problem. Politicians have personal guards and state patrol at their disposal, so it's not a priority to them. So their main concern is votes. If the hot button today is gun control, well then it's their "big" concern all of a sudden. When it goes away, so do they. All the while the criminals don't listen to them or the laws, so they get have access to a gun anytime anywhere. What do they care? They don't care about laws by definition. So why would they care? They only care that after a stupid law like that is passed that they have one less thing to worry about now when they steal from someone......not getting shot. Brilliant.

Again, time and time again it has been reported by a ton of different researchers that specialize in this subject that the unanimous #1 thing that criminals fear is getting SHOT. Why would you take away the #1 deterrent? Doesn't make sense. Taking away the Uzi or Mac 10 may not be the big thing to you or me, but it is the definite start to taking away a Glock or a S&W later. This is why the gun lobbyist fight so hard to not let ANY gun bans happen. They understand that if they take away 1, then they will come back and take away 2, 3, 50 until they are all banned. That's their target. It's no secret.

So, some people may think, "oh, what's the big deal about taking Mac10's off the street?". Well, two things mainly: 1. you won't take them "off the street". You will only take them off LAW-ABIDING people's hands. Criminals will always find them and get them. 2. It will serve as a stepping stone to eventually take away the "evil" "automatics" that ARE in fact usefull for self-defense and sporting.
