   Munoz also said arming teachers would have done nothing if they couldn't    
   distinguish individuals from each other.    
      
   "More guns does not solve this problem, in the same way that firefighters    
   don't bring more fire to stop fires," Munoz said.    
      
   On average, more than 13,000 people are killed each year in the United States   
   by guns.      
      
   Most of those incidents involve handguns while a tiny fraction involve an   
   AR-style firearm. Still, the AR plays an oversized role in many of the most   
   high-profile shootings, including the June 2016 nightclub shooting in Orlando   
   and the gunning down of 58    
   people last October at a country music festival in Las Vegas, the deadliest   
   mass shooting in modern U.S. history.    
      
   Speaking outside Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School on Friday, Florida Sen.   
   Bill Nelson, a Democrat, said he has been inspired by the students who have   
   been demanding changes to make gun violence less likely.    
      
   "These kids are just terrific," Nelson said.  "The fact that they are speaking    
   up as boldly as they are, maybe that's the turning point.  You haven't heard    
   students speak up one after another after another after witnessing such    
   carnage and speaking out with such conviction."
