Quit believing the media when they tell you it's all the problem of police policies. Raise kids to be good citizens instead of gang bangers. Actions have consequences.
Or the problem of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals? That lies in the lap of the criminal justice system. Impose meaningful punishments for offenders. Most of these criminals in possession of a firearm are repeat offenders..

What about increasing the Police budgets? - more training - more weeding out of bad apples - Europe can do it - In Europe, a Policeperson is mentored for 3 years with constant evaluations and remains in a team (never alone). Then, they decide whether to make them permanent or not. Constant psychological evaluations. Much more rigorous than in the US., especially small cities.
