that's why one of my biggest solutions to the gun violence issue is the decriminalization of drugs. take the street money out of the issue. Prohibition should have taught us a lesson, but apparently it didn't.
the second is INCREASE punishment for committing crimes with guns, and DECREASE penalties for committing crimes without guns, actually execute people on death row (in the public square) and use the taxation of now legal drugs to fund treatment centers, mental health facilities and other things.
Oh, and make parents accountable for the actions of their children.
