It is not the gun that pulls the trigger, it is the finger that pulls the trigger.
This is why those who support common sense gun safety — those who love our children more than weapons of war that do not belong in civilian situations — want to limit which fingers have access to those triggers, and make sure the triggers are NOT capable of pulling themselves (automatic and semi-automatic weapons with high capacity magazines).
We want to make sure that the fingers on triggers are not attached to those who are so mentally impaired that they need their affairs to be managed by a court-ordered conservator (the Obama standard that Trump repealed, while also making sure the mentally ill had no access to mental health care), or those who are on the no-fly terror watch list, or who have been convicted of violent felonies including domestic violence.
Those who want to make sure that guns are readily available to violent felons, terrorists, domestic abusers and the mentally ill, seek to obstruct any attempt to close the gun show and Internet loopholes, or any other measure that would keep inappropriate fingers off of triggers (while protecting the rights of others to reasonable firearms access).
The same concept also applies in the voting booth. Republicans, who are terrified of real turnout by real voters, know this. This is why they are trying so hard to suppress those fingers from pushing the buttons in the voting booths.
