Depressingly, most of what Darkside proposes is supported by the overwhelming majority of gun owners and the numbers showing that have been on the books for years. The majority are not NRA supporters. I know several who left decades ago when it became an absolutist shell of what it once was. That then drove the NRA to become even more absurd to appeal to the dregs who stayed. There are some who still toss them money as they see it as the only real option to support something they believe in but they fight off the nausea when they do it.
As a new homeowner in an area with a lot property crime and even home invasions, I have been seriously thinking about getting a shotgun and would have no problem going through any of that to obtain one.
Still, the only thing that stops that kid is someone acting on what they are seeing. Again, there was plenty of warning. Again, the FBI fucked up after receiving warnings. We have regulated the shit out of explosive ingredients after 9/11 but teenagers still manage to get their hands on that, as is the case of the kid in Minnesota who just wanted to kill people for the hell of it. Vice did a special in Chicago where this gangbanger literally decimates the idea of regulation stopping him from getting a gun.
Average gangbanger or guy with street ties has no problem obtaining a pistol. The black market is the best and in most cases the only way for them to obtain a gun anyway.
They don't want to go through the legal route to obtain a gun because then their name would be attached to the crime.
So many guns moving around in the black market that its not difficult to get one and never has to be honest.
