I have few suggestions:
Stop the "This is the only/best solution" argument. Accept that multiple responses to the problem might work well in tandem. Improved mental health services. Sensible gun control. Increased security at public places. Something else?
Don't expect a single response/solution to answer the problem. Expecting so is a good way to do nothing. All we have to do is poke holes in the other guy's solution. . .it gets thrown in the trash and we do nothing.
No solution is going to work in every case. People and situations are different. The idea that plan B wouldn't have stopped person C is often a phony argument.
Don't use the situation to settle old scores. You hate cops? Despise liberals? Don't like guns? Get over it. Hate Hillary? Think Trump should have been removed from office? Nobody cares.
Don't forget there are things you can do at a personal, family and community level.
It's going to take money, time and hard work to solve this.

Dope Clock II: It's been 346 days since Bobby Menard announced plans to create "Artists Valley". So far all he has done is lie through his teeth.
You forget that this is America, and America is
"special".
Many Americans will tell you things that work in other countries will not work in America, because America is
"special"
America is a country in which only one solution is allowed to be examined at a time and it if it is not a bona fide, guaranteed 100% solution to a problem, then it is not considered a solution at all... that is how
"special" America is. The very idea that a solution could be in five or six parts, each dealing with a different part of a problem, is foreign to them, and therefore, being foreign, cannot possibly work in
"special" America.
Here is an example of how this works...
1. Limit magazine capacities
Not a solution because some people will find a way around it;
Solution not 100% therefore rejected
2. Outlaw bump stocks
Not a solution because some people can fire almost as quickly without a bump stock:
Solution not 100% therefore rejected
3. Background checks
Not a solution because some people will find a way around them;
Solution not 100% therefore rejected
4. Make assault rifles illegal
Not a solution because people disagree what an assault rifle is;
Solution not 100% therefore rejected
5. Define what an assault rifle is and make them illegal
Not a solution because someone could bring one in from Mexico or Canada;
Solution not 100% therefore rejected
6. Require licencing to own firearms
Not a solution because licencing is an infringement of rights. a.k.a as the
"bbbbut muh guns" objection;
Solution not 100% therefore rejected
The idea that each of these ideas might address, say 5 - 10% of the problem, and that together they might address half the problem, does not even occur to the peanut-sized brains of some Americans.
PS: Someone will be along soon to tell me that I
"hate America" or ask me why I do, simply because I have pointed out a few home truths.
Look at these jerks:
