And again: children and teenagers all over the world consume the same media, yet mass shooting and gun violence commited by teens are only a problem in the US.

Because there are millions of 18 year old sportsmen who are of a sound mind, hunting wild game with a single fire bolt action should not be made hard to get. Whereas it’s illegal to hunt with a semi-automatic rifle anyway unless there is a permanent restrictor plate installed preventing more than 3 rounds in the magazine

Yet at the same time you want to restrict media for millions of teenagers who consume media without going on gun rampages.

My hindsight is perfect.

This is not about hindsight. If there is even the slightest doubt about a person's character and mental stability he or she should not be able to buy a gun.
