Here's how we fix the deep-seated US culture of gun violence:
- Disarm cops
- Reserve-only military
- Only declared wars (foreign AND domestic) allow govt use of guns
- Generous buy back of civilian guns
- Registry (private) of all remaining guns

These are big asks from the government but it's the only way for them to genuinely prove that they are committed to reducing the culture of gun violence, and not just using the opportunity to further limit civilian rights. These would all be nominally popular policies among voters too, the main challenge is getting it through the anti-voter congress, which applies to all ideas.

Cops are still the biggest source of gun violence in the US, but we cannot forget the incredible amount of foreign violence our military creates as well. It's all part of the same system and the same culture and it all has to be fixed before we stop our shootings. You can't make comparisons to Canada or UK or Japan without focusing on this as well.

Helping with mental health and rejecting white supremacy and tracking those 100-round magazines and such are good things that could help in the short term, but they have to be part of a real plan.
