Thank you for this well written piece Sandro. Anyone who has read the chapter “Power” in your book “ Well” would understand why and how “certain forces” hold sway when it comes to gun control. However, it is still mind boggling that the US cannot have effective gun control laws despite the convincing evidence that “guns kill people”.

It is my hope that the pain and suffering caused by these mass shootings and rhetoric that follow serve as the Overton window that nudge the gun debate towards better control.
