It's like the people who decided to crack down on teen smoking by banning flavored tobacco in CA.
The age to purchase is already 21. Legal smokers suffer while teens buy knockoff pens with no oversight. Where there's a demand, there's a market. Prop 64 proved that when the illegal weed market overtook the legal weed market, after the price of legal weed shot up 100%. 
California responds to gun crime by banning guns with intimidating looking features. Criminals still own said guns. Legal owners who jump through the hoops of gun ownership ultimately have the most restricted access. 
We had a school shooting at my college once, while the president was in town, and the shooter used an AR that he built entirely in his bedroom. State restrictions on his activities had zero impact on his ability to source it. 
Stupid logic with an inevitably stupid outcome that doesn't address the initial problem.
There was an extensive study done by Janet Reno's Department of Justice that found commonality in regards in parental neglect especially in regards to strong male role model concern.  This isn't spoke of very much as US politics has devolved into capitalizing on problems rather than focusing on solutions.  Every school shooting there's a circus for the media, a chance for politicians to grandstand and increase in firearm sales. >

Lmao, What political solution is there to this? >

Raise the country's happiness index. Educational campaigns for fathers. Lessen financial burdens of the lower class so there isn't as much stress at home. >

Some blame goes to the media, who has a field day every time there is a school shooting and every news network fights for the “HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SHOOTER. EXCLUSIVELY HERE” headline. They seem to inspire copycats for attention they seek. >

This. Want a free biography written about you? And a great way to show yourself giving a giant middle finger to the world/establishment/society?
