As a matter of fact, politicians don't care if there is crime or shootings or
four horsemen of the Apocalypse ravaging the country, since bad stuff happens
to the poor   but not to them. Most of the time they do something for the good
of the people, there is a clear hidden reason. If it actually helps people it
is accidental.

The new Spanish tax on sweet drinks comes to mind. The argument for imposing it
was that it was aimed at reducing comsumption of drinks with excess sugar. In
reality, the tax was applied to a lot of drinks with no sugar. They used fear
from sugar as an excuse for pushing a law that gave them more power of the
entirety of the drink industry and affected a lot of manufacturers who had
nothing to do with the alleged excuse.

Surely, you see how this works.

If they were scared of guns manufactured in underground workshops being used
for active shootings, it would be interesting to see how many unregistered guns
have been manufactured and used for one of those in an underground workshop. I
bet not many. Spain is an example of a country with a tight supply of
commercial weapon parts, which makes it the sort of place in which baddies
would turn to underground manufacturing, and while there are underground
blacksmiths, baddies main sources of guns here are civil war stashes, corrupt
law enforcers an Eastern Europe Smugglers.

Afaik homemade guns are explicitly legal in a number of US States.
