Guns make murders easier, more efficient and a lot of the time let the perpetrator escape to commit even more murders. We cannot change mentality, so trying to make it a lot harder for certain individuals should be a high priority project. |
You can change the mentality by going after the sources of it through education, changing culture, and jailing the extreme elements. It would have alot of long term benefits to the area or people affected by it.
It's already hard to get guns legally. People who have records can't buy any gun legally. Since we can't read people's minds or watch people's social media in real time, there's not much else you can do with "make more gun laws". The current gun laws need to be enforced and we need to go after black market guns wherever they are. From what I've seen, no one is really serious about dealing with the murders. People can't be honest about it.
Guns seem like they're easier or more efficient but they really aren't unless in the hands of skilled and trained individuals. The chances of catching someone who uses a gun to kill another person illegally is very high. There are far worse things a person could do that's a lot more difficult to catch.
