For some reason I forgot to mention the black market in my comment. That aside:
Interpretation of the Constitution is always subject to change. It means whatever 5 Supreme Court Justices decides it means.
Meanwhile, we have a large number of people in the U.S. that will violate what they see as oppressive gun control laws, followed by some kind of insurrection if the government tries to take their guns away.
As it stands, people can sell/trade firearms privately, make their own firearms from scratch or from partially carved components, and build up their own arsenal, as long as they have some money. There is little interest in stopping them.
Gun control may prevent some of the stupider kids and mentally disturbed individuals from picking up a gun. Then again, the Drug War hasn't been such a success. All that is needed is a cheap handgun and some bullets in order to replicate what was seen on Sunday. If a 24-year-old liquidates their meager assets, they should be able to afford a weapon, one-way bus ticket, etc.
