especially handguns in other states.

It is actually a federal crime for me to buy a handgun in Arizona or sell one to a resident of any other state without the gun being shipped to a licence dealer in their state.

Machine guns are illegal in every state in France, in fact every country in the EU, but that didn't stop the several mass shootings in Paris did it? Or someone with an automatic weapon shooting up a Copenhagen bar, or an art gallery in Brussels.

For all we know, they had automatic weapons. I don't know. If they did, the OP and any discussion on gun control is moot.
