Supply and demand. When you restrict the supply of any good in a market or an economy it makes it more difficult for the demand to acquire it whether that be through legal purchases, the black market or theft.
Making these guns illegal will not stop people from using them illegally but it will directionally decrease the ability to do so. That is a good thing and a necessary first step.
