I also like the idea of naming and shaming the sellers of guns used in school shootings.
Shaming the seller isn't about hindsight, its a warning to future sellers. Every future seller who sells a weapon used in a school shooting should fear being outed and publicly shamed if the weapon they sell is used in a school massacre. While sellers have the right to sell to any legal buyer, they don't have a duty to do so. Let them bear the risk their weapon will be misused.
That's something we can do NOW and doesn't require any government action.

You have to tell yourself that because it’s all you can say.”

“It doesn’t seem like Daniel Defense shies away from promoting the military capabilities of the AR-15 and surely they’re targeting young men who love first person shooter games,” Koskoff said. “These companies need to think about this reckless marketing and the increasing velocity of mass shootings in America.”

Here is their facebook page. You can post comments about their profiting from school shootings there.
Nope, it took almost no time for them to respond. I guess they don't want to hear about their victims.
