I have no idea ...
... why the chain does that (watch to the end).
The path of least resistance has to be elegant?
If you want some explanations from physicists (that do not necessarily agree with each other),

markets and guns
A while ago humblestudent posted his free market solution to gun violence.
In short, the owner of a gun would be required to pay for the damages done with his weapon. In order to be able to do this, he would have to buy "gun insurance". Obviously, insurance companies would charge a different premium for different models - an AR-15 would be more expensive than a hunting rifle. They would also do basic background checks etc. and charge accordingly.
This would not eliminate gun violence, but it would certainly reduce it.
Of course, most US politicians would not even debate such a proposal and instead prefer to "pray for the victims".
