Gun control laws have never shown to have any effect on murder rates. If someone wants a gun, their are going to get a gun.
As for semi-automatic weapons, I don't think they should be illegal, the vast majority of people that own these guns have them for target practice. Of course no one uses them for any practical purpose, like most peoples hobbies. Also, it is kind of hard to walk around with a concealed AK-47 in your coat, the only reason you would use one of these for a crime is if you wanted to get caught!
