One idea I have is completely overhauling how we approach crime like giving criminals a reason to take the way out of crime.

    “Gun control” is whack. The only thing it accomplishes is restricting the freedom of people inclined to follow the law. If you don’t give a shit about the law you can get a gun, even in the most restrictive places on the planet. Just ask Shinzo Abe about it.

    The answer, as many have pointed out, is improved material conditions leading to less incentive to commit crime of any type. Short of that, we might see some success by enhancing sentences for crimes committed with firearms. And I mean real crimes, with victims, not fake crimes like felon in possession or having a machine gun without a tax stamp.
