We need true healthcare for all, a minimum wage in proportion with what it should be, adaption to climate change and a move away from our oil masters. Do all that, and you create a happier population; which will cause crime to go down. Mass shootings will still happen, but overall crime will be way down.

Another step to take would be to legalize the drugs that aren’t really a problem. The ones that are, stop arresting for them or help or court lead them to rehab; where the money should be going. I think we can all agree there is a world of difference between walking around with a cannabis high and being on meth.
