At least some form of gun control

It’s a deeper problem than that. It starts with education from a young level not giving the quality of education needed, compounded by the work system we have not offering better opportunities, a society that’s almost apathetic to the real problems, and a political system the completely fails to act on the deeper problems. Add to that a medical system that has its hands tied to resolve mental problems to those who can’t afford it, and you are left with a society that has deep seeded frustrations that are taken out in extreme ways. Solve those and gun control measures wound be almost unneeded.

@Zaphod42 wouldn't gun control be quicker and more effective?

@Axeroberts It’s a bit like putting a bandage on a gun shot would and declaring the patient healed without repairing the internal problems.

@Zaphod42 it seems there is more than just one issue associated with this problem

@Axeroberts Hence my short list of problems. It’s by no means a comprehensive list, and certainly oversimplifies the issues, but I think those are the biggest hurtles to overcome in terms of making a better society as a whole.
