Otherwise what's in your OP is going to continue to happen.

Of course, research finds that criminals tend to traffic arms into states with numerous gun-control laws, from states with fewer ones.

It's a bit harder to get guns into Hawaii because of its remoteness. Alaska doesn't have many people and no direct connection to the lower 48 either. But in the lower 48, all it takes is one state to have lax gun laws to undermine the rest of the country.
