Probably 20 years ago the Sheriff of Bristol County in Massachusetts (New Bedford area) instituted a policy of holding anyone who was arrested with a firearm on no bail until a separate hearing could be held to determine if the Perp was a "danger to the community".
The result. Shootings and gun crimes were dramatically reduced. A success story, right?
Not exactly. The usual suspects got involved and sued to stop the policy because ... wait for it ... racism.
No more of that policy. Gun crimes/shootings went back to "normal".
