The shooter.
I agree but that sort of runs contrary to your desire for more gun regulations that would not impact the shooters given in almost every case they were either facing the death penalty or killed themselves

Chinese alchemists.
try not to disrupt the thread-if you don't have an opinion make a reasonable suggestion
Because you're thinking is mono dimensional.
Chinese Alchemists invented gun powder, originally used in fireworks but expanded to firearms use.
No gunpowder, no bullets, no guns, no shooters.
gunpowder like bows and arrows were developed in several areas Ever heard of "Black Berthold" the monk chemist?
Gunpowder was, according to prevailing academic consensus, discovered in the 9th century in China, attributed to Chinese alchemists searching for an elixir of immortality.[4] This discovery led to the invention of fireworks and the earliest gunpowder weapons in China. In the centuries following the Chinese discovery, gunpowder weapons began appearing in the Arab world, Europe, and India. The consensus is that this was spread from China, through the Middle East, and then into Europe.[5]
Berthold the Black lived, allegedly, during the 14th century. You missed the window by only 500 years.
if he invented it without knowing about the chinese then that means europe would have gotten gun powder nonetheless

the bottom line, w/o chinese contributions we'd still be where we are now
