Crime is caused by: poverty lack of social safety net poor enforcement of existing laws drug trade lack of good mental health resources.
If we tackled those issues (as other countries have) we could reduce crime. There will always be crime. There will always be mass killings. We can ensure there is less though.
However looking at that list it is a bunch of hard to solve complex & expensive problems. Easier (but less useful) to cry "BAN EM".
BAN EM is the left wing version of DRILL BABY DRILL. Short sighted but pointless.
