Making guns harder to get period might actually prevent firearms from getting into the hands of potential Hardcore Gamers, but good loving luck convincing anyone to pass that legislation
Yeah America really missed the mark on gun control once people decided children being murdered in their schools wasn't a good enough reason to change their ways.
As far as I can see at least 51% of America thinks more highly of being able to go to a shooting range and feeling badass firing off rounds than giving up anything to save thousands of lives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
