Depends on the state you live in.
I know New York passed a state law banning auto weapons that is permenant. Not sure on PA law though.
Banning all guns will accomplish nothing. Unless you can rid the streets of all weapons, murders will still occur. It's just another law for the murdered to break. Do you really think that the murderer is going to give 2 shits that he broke the law saying that he can't have a gun when he has already slaughtered someone?
All you would do is make criminals of good citizens, and add another mark onto the record of an already-criminal murderer.
Plus, take all the weapons away from citizens, and it would be very easy to in the future for atrocities to happen in this country. It could happen. Not saying it would, but the possibility would be there because people couldn't fight back. it's happened all throughout history i other nations where a corrupt government instilled fear and committed atrocities. Imagine a world where the only people with firearms are the government, and imagine how easy it would become to instill fear if someone so choosed.
Look at why we were given the "Right to bear arms" in the first place. The united states was forged on the revolution and won with yes, firearms. Now imagine if the colonists didn't have weapons...
Would be the most assanine idea ever to take away weapons from the public.
