I was trained by my military father as a preteen and I learned the rules in less than a day as a child.I was also manufacturing cartridges with my ATF family member at 12(all legally) who was also in the military
Guns are easier to learn to use than drive a car.
I also feel that if you banned what some people call "assault rifles" it wouldn't change much other than the criminals will still seek them out, Whats more illegal, getting an illegal gun or killing 20? point is they dont care, they are crazy.
They are the "Pitbull" of guns, there are more deadly guns out there that are easier to get, they just dont get the PC from the media and I am not abt to say what they are on a public forum (dont want any crazies to get any idea on my acct).

The 2 biggest mass killings in the USA ever were done without guns, 9/11 and Timothy McVeigh.
I used to bring the Cartridges (bullets)I made into show and tell in elementary school (4 decades ago)+.
During Hunting season, many guys in HS (PA) would have gun racks in their trucks with shotguns and riffles etc. Some of them are bigger than what those crazies used and we never had a problem. What changed?
