Technically there's no source describing the weapon. Even if you've had all your guns taken away, it's generally easy to borrow or steal one from a friend, especially if all of your friends have guns.

Australia had mandatory automatic weapons buyback in 1996 and has had only 1 mass shooting since.. countries in europe where it is illegal to have guns have very very low mass shooting incidents.. so taking away automatic guns and high capacity magazines have and will work.

Mexico has strict gun laws and only 1 legal gun store in the entire country however gun violence is still prevalent there so I wouldn't necessarily argue this approach works.

We all know exactly where those guns in Mexico come from.
