Everything but regulate guns
Actually restricting guns for the plebs is impossible in the US. The right to bear arms is literally in the constitution. And when looking at the (pretty damn short, but it does exist) history, it makes perfect sense (even though it doesn't actually work to keep the government honest and the feared British revenge war never happened).
What would be possible even in the US would be making it less likely that the abundant guns (which just ain't going away anytime soon) are used by people with serious mental problems - by reducing the likelihood of serious mental problems to happen.
You need a village to raise a kid.
We also have the right to vote, but Trump wants to restrict that too. So...yes, it's entirely possible in the US. No one has the political will so far to do it. Gun lobbies are too strong and money is above human life, especially our children's.
well that's it
and reducing mental health issues is great but does not contribute directly to the issue
