Enforce the laws against criminals. Stop letting them out of jail for illegal gun possession or use. Prosecute them to the fullest for the illegal use of guns and then you will be working on a solution that actually helps rather than talking about and making laws that do nothing but sound good to the people that are not aware of the reality of the situation.
