Some criticize the gun control laws as being ineffective in achieving their primary objective, which is to reduce the occurrence of violent crime.
So if gun control is not the way to go, then what would you recommend to be more effective ways of achieving these objectives?
Among some ideas I'd have could include:
Improve access to education in a trade or profession for all.
This would not solve all problems of course, but it woudl at least reduce the rate of crime caused by destitution or unemployment.
Of course other strategies might be needed to deal with addicts stealing for drug money, estranged spouces who simly lose their minds temporarily when they learn that their spouce intends to divorce, etc.
I don't know the answer to all these solutions, but I would be open to ideas.
