But nothing. Do you have a reason for trying prevent only mass shootings?

Certainly having no semi-auto guns for sale to the public will make the existing stock of them skyrocket in value. They will become sought after. A new black market will rise just as it did when drugs became overly controlled.

You have a very negative view of young people. I don't fear people because I believe that generally people are good. I believe that almost everyone is basically good and with the right help from the government, they can be better.

IMHO half of everyone not in the 1% has money problems that are critical or nearly so. They worry about everything from no retirement fund to no food to eat next week.

How many young men are involved in a gang because they've been victimized by other gangs or because the only source of income involved gang activity or both?

Prohibition and the drug war have been income generators the magnitude of which is seldom rivaled by any other grass roots activity outside of the collateral carnage caused.
