As well as to ensure the continued mass availability of weapons in the US. Example of political school shooting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_Polytechnique_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_Polytechnique_massa... Example of non-political school shooting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_massacre ; resulted in the handgun ban and no more school shootings.
