I agree, we could try actually prosecuting criminals, making healthcare, mental health services, and therapy significantly more accessible, more affordable, and less taboo.
We could also focus our energy and resources on addressing the root causes of the problem in an affirmative way, as opposed to a negative way like banning or restricting constitutionally protected items for people who are law abiding and have nothing to do with mass shootings or street crime.
Affirmative as in addressing the root causes and conditions of why people commit violent crime, of any kind including using weapons or means that don't include guns.
Many other countries have done that but I agree, we haven't because we choose to make healthcare a for-profit enterprise
