    School shooters don’t always have legal guns, if you shoot your mom and steal her rifle for example, you didn’t legally acquire it even if she did. (Sandy Hook). Or if you get your friend to straw purchase you a bunch of guns you can’t legally buy, that’s illegal because straw purchasing is illegal (Columbine). There’s more examples but that’s just off the dome, I’m not a human google machine after all.

    That said, yeah of course a terrorist can obtain one, legally or otherwise. They can either have a clean background themselves, or if not then have friends with clean backgrounds illegally straw purchase for them, or 3d print them like Luigi (now y’all gonna believe they work? Luigi’s problem was the can without a neilson, not the print.), hell in the Khyber Pass they mill beautiful guns with hand tools, in the jungles of the Philippines they do the same just with less engraving, people can make some shit.
