Is there a way to

Is there a way to make murder more illegal, because it seems no one seems to care it’s illegal in the first place. we can blame the guns all we want but when are we going to start holding the people who break these laws accountable? to many deaths and it seems very little repercussions.

But if people still commit murder in state having the death penalty, and even the thought of that doesn't stop them, then nothing is going to stop them.

They often end up being killed or committing suicide.

Illegal is illegal. There is no such thing as more illegal.
