The parent did not complain about the ban being ineffective. He complained about it hurting his niche hobby. That's selfish.

As for the argument that the ban is a bad idea because it is ineffective. I don't know if the ban will help. I'm not an expert, though it seems pretty obvious that our current situation isn't working so well. Do you think a ban will increase gun violence? How sure are you?

It's only selfish if the ban actually achieves some important social objective. But it doesn't, not really. You don't need any of that content to buy a gun and shoot up a school.
