@ericshyaka first of all these people were no homosexuals, but trans and non-binair. Big difference! There is hardly any proper care in the US for people with mental problems and too many people don't have family, friends or neighbours who look after them. In the Netherlands where I am from we aren't allowed to have guns, except when you are part of a licensed gun club and you get a background check. We don't have school shootings, thankfully. But you cannot compare my country, which is 4 times smaller than Florida, with the US. I am not pro or anti gun, but in the US with more violence and also a much bigger country (so if you live 1 hour from the nearest town i.e.) I can assume you want a gun to protect yourself and your family.
I don't know what the solutions is, better background checks? Minimum age of 21 years to get a gun? But the main thing is we need a society where people aren't numbers and where we have a good community which supports us. But even here, that is under pressure, so more loneliness and depression arise because of it. We have lost touch with our fellow human beings and too self centered. And social media is poison for our society.
