It's not even stupidity at this point. The inaction and dumbfounding level of apathy with which the issue is treated that is the problem.
Americans always ready the typical responses. "Don't try to politicise a tragedy!", "Gun control? (Not even a complete ban, even a simple system of checks) SCREEEEEE", "We have to respect the second amendment! (Though the very word amendment itself means that it CAN be changed!)".
Many Americans (great examples of which can be seen in this very thread), are completely irrational on this issue. Killing is a byproduct of human nature, but acting like controlling access to deadly weapons won't result in a lower number of deaths is ridiculous.
I understand the power the NRA and other lobbyists hold with corrupt politicians, but it is not indestructible, nothing is. If you want to improve the state of your society, it needs to be dismantled. That's entirely possible.
