As for me, I believe that Conor's previously submitted list of actions would go a long way toward dropping the mass shootings such as we're seeing in Uvalde, Texas...
When it comes to the problems in Chicago and other large cities, IMO the causes are deep and wide, but attacking the ever widening wealth gap is part of the solution...it is grossly unfair to 90% of Americans, but especially to those in the lower economic strata of America...once we start caring for every citizen's well being that demonstrated message of inclusiveness will reduce the stresses and increase the hopefulness that's needed to reduce the level of gun violence.
But enough of my thoughts...what are yours?
