I would suggest you watch a documentary entitled "Cartel Land." It's about a group of Mexican civilians that took up arms to defend themselves against drug cartels. They were armed with all kinds of "assault rifles" including full automatic AKs. The private ownership of firearms in Mexico is as regulated and restricted as it is anywhere on the planet...to the point that you can't even posses ammunition without a government permit. If they could find hundreds of "assault rifles" to equip themselves with, what makes you think your "laws & mandatory registration program" are going to work any better in the US? It definitely hasn't worked in Mexico.
