Which didn't stop this shooting. Here we are, back at the beginning. Care to take the merry-go-round for another turn?

No. That would also be illegal already. You have to go to a federal firearms licensee, complete a background check, and complete any local requirements, such as a waiting period.

That's obviously not the point. The point is, if something is already illegal, then how could you hope to make it more illegal? More importantly, why would you punish law abiding citizens in the process?

They were almost assuredly gang members. This wasn't just a confrontation between random strangers. These were little thugs doing thug shit. Once again, if gun control laws worked flawlessly, these little shits wouldn't have had guns in the first place.

Personally, I'd say we should start at the root of the problem. We have a cultural rot in our inner cities, and we have a massive mental health problem.

Nevermind the fact that they were not legally allowed to own guns if they're juveniles. Those gun laws sure stopped that crime. Good job, everyone.
