@mentsch1 I’m all for increased policing, but even in places where there’s a heavy police presence, and a pro-police populace, there are still way more violent gun-related crimes than there needs to be.
The fact of the matter is that in the USA it’s super easy for a criminal to get his or her hands on a weapons. And an innocent person who wants to commit a crime will have zero problems getting a gun. Unless you want a full on Communist Russia situation where the police can just arrest you for anything, the simplest solution is to get rid of guns.
