I would like to see the empirical evidence to support this. Are there data that shows definitively that x number of kids have said they would have committed a school shooting absent having to be 21 to get a firearm? I say that mostly in jest, but seriously, how has that been determined? I’d like to see the study.
It's impossible to prove something is *causal* but this paper uses a difference-in-difference analysis to explore state variation in gun homicides. This analysis aims to get as possibly close to 'causal' as possible.

It reduced homicides by around 17% and it even reduced suicides. Forcing people to think rather than act reduces homicides.
For the minimum age, there are a few studies out there but they essentially note that most gun violence is carried out by young people and disproportionately by youths.

This implies that substantially greater than 17% of homicides are committed with guns purchased within some “waiting period” time period. This is utter bullshite. How do you not see such a remarkable flaw in this study?
