Most school shooters, and probably hoodie guy, own their guns legally. Most other types of crime, like robbery, the guns used are stolen or illegal anyway.
Well, hoodie guy is dubious. It's almost impossible to get a gun legally in NYC, upstate it is a bit easier depending on the county, but it's still not super easy. 100% he wasn't carrying it legally at least, but I highly suspect from watching the video that he's using a poorly milled "ghost gun" (because he had to spank it into battery after he cleared a malfunction) which is illegal in NY, and a homemade suppressor without a Neilson device (because it wasn't cycling the slide at all, causing those malfunctions,) which is illegal federally (well, kinda, but why Form 1 one of those?!)
As for school shooters, many do, but many steal them from parents as well. In either case "taxes" are not the answer, poor people deserve the right just as much as rich people, and they have just as big of a need for it (if not more, being that rich people can employ security and are targeted less often than you think).
