My argument against your argument against changing gun control

Some people have brought up (Not only in school but, also my dad) that even if you change gun control, people will find ways to get guns anyway. And to that I have to say: So we're not even supposed to try? We couldn't try to make it a little harder to get a gun that for the most part, you don'te even need unless your intending to kill or seriously injure someone? We can't try?
It's just really aggravating to me that there are some people who actually just think "what's the point?" that just doesn't seem fair.
What if we didn't make heroin illegal just because people would do it anyway? That doesn't make it any less dangerous. It doesn't make it any better. It's just legal. Legality doesn't count for everything.
Here are my basic points:
1) Just because people would try to get guns anyway doesn't mean that the government shouldn't try to make it harder.
2) Maybe the fact that its illegal will turn some people away from even trying to get one (extra jail time, any jail time at all)
3) I'm not saying all guns should be illegal, but the assualt riffles and machine guns... certainly uneeded.
