Most citizens are not going to make criminals of themselves by buying illegal arms, no matter how much they
disagree with a certain prohibition. Criminals will be happy to get their arms by any means. If Mexican gangs can't get their hans on American made product, then it will be Chinese or Russian made. I don't expect Mexican gangs to come under control of Mexican authorities. Their foothold is strong, their government is corrupt, their citizens defenseless (ahem). More likely, Mexico will become our neighboring, lawless Somalia.
So, we're mostly talking about making eeevil semi-automatic "assault rifles" illegal. Who could ever need such a weapon for self-defense? I've thought that, myself. But, I've been doing a lot of reading on forums like DefensiveCarry.com. Home invasion crews (and those same Mexican drug gangs, moving into the US) have become better armed, and more dangerous. Some have been wearing body armor, which makes handguns and even shotguns less effective for home-defense. The is when a semi-automatic "defense rifle" would be appropriate.
Remember: the police will not be there to help in your greatest time of need. Yeah, moving from high-risk areas would be a good idea. But, no place is entirely immune, and each person is ultimately responsible for the safety of himself, or for his/her family.
