Yes, people pull the trigger - but guns are the instrument of death. Gun control is necessary, and delay means more death and horror.

Guns are bad, I tell you.

In Florida, to buy a gun, you do not need a permit, you do not need a gun license, and once you buy it, you do not need to register it. You do not need a permit to carry a concealed rifle or shotgun. You can buy as many guns as you want at one time.

As a side note, there are more regulatory requirements in Florida for opening a taco stand than there are for purchasing a firearm.
A rotten taco that leads to a stomach ache is probably a bigger problem than a gun in the wrong hands.
The interesting thing about the American gun fetish is that even though you are fully armed, you are completely helpless when investors funded by China rat them out of a job.
A socially just society can be recognized by certain indicators, such as legislation in the form of how many laws benefit ordinary citizens and thus improve their quality of life.
Participation is the magic word for a fair society. The figures in favor of the average American citizen are catastrophic in contrast to the upper class of the rich.
The capitalist propaganda of the entire institutions of the top one percent are doing everything they can to get the American people's heads so twisted that they really believe that a social market economy is the freind of the common citizen.
Anyone who really assumes that health insurance or social benefits such as unemployment benefits and a reasonable tax burden for the rich are detrimental to society should simply check the facts. American public health and thus life expectancy is far behind China.
If that doesn't give you food for thought, you should just check whenever the spectre of the gun control movement is conjured up to distract from important issues.
Gun control only means that there is a background check of the gun buyer. Even bad people and mentally unstable people can buy guns if everything is over the counter.
A just society trusts its state institutions because they are there for the common good of all. If this is not the case, something is very wrong in the so-called democracy and it is a state of Kleptocracy.

The eternal repetition of mass shootings with hundreds of innocent deaths every year is a morally untenable state of affairs.
Every statistic says that the more weapons are in circulation, the more they are inevitably used, and not always for morally good motives as the weapons industry suggests.

The fairy tale of the armed teacher who protects the children is already obsolete when the evil one with a telescopic sight blows the brains out of the armed teacher's window.
Not to mention the surprise effect when a machine gunner stands in the doorway of the classroom. Teachers are not john wicks, especially not navy seals.
