    If you’re actually wanting to solve our violence problem, you go to the root of our societies issues, not the tool used. All of these things below would curb our violence as a whole 1000xs more than any new gun control can.

    We can start with:

    • Single payer healthcare

    • Ending the War on Drugs

    • Ending Qualified immunity

    • Properly funding our schools and not just rich white suburb schools.

    • Build more schools and hire more teachers for proper pay so the class room sizes aren’t 30-40 kids for one teacher.

    • UBI (at least start talking about it) once AI takes over most of the blue collar jobs.

    • End for profit prisons

    • Enforce the laws already on the books

    • Make sure there are safety nets for poor families so the kids don’t turn to violence/gangs to survive.

    • Increase the minimum wage

    • Recreate our mental healthcare so kids don’t turn to the internet for support. And to help veterans not end up as a suicide number.

    • Actively make a law to solidify Pro-choice rights. More unwanted children do not help our situation.

    • Banning Insider Trading for Congress

    • Term limits

    • Ranked Choice Voting so we can move away from a 2 party system
