One possible answer to gun violence is to improve "Quality of Life"

Or:

1. The poor should not own guns.

2. A set threshold of wealth should be set for gun ownership.

 

New Zealand reports low crime rate is related to higher quality of life.

[1]New Zealand: Crime rate and quality of life related in a nation’s experience with violence

New Zealand has a low crime rate, but folks report it still has to deal with crimes of the kind that happen in other countries.  It simply has the attitude and laws in place, according to the experts, that makes for a more peaceful place.  But what are those statistics, and let’s take a look at the day happenings to see  what’s happening in a place people associate more with the Hobbits than with crime.

[2]Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In New-Zealand, the average household net-adjusted disposable income is 21 892 USD a year, less than the OECD average of 23 047 USD a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn five times as much as the bottom 20%.

In general, 83% of people in New-Zealand say they have more positive experiences in an average day (feelings of rest, pride in accomplishment, enjoyment, etc) than negative ones (pain, worry, sadness, boredom, etc), more than OECD average of 80%.

Already we see the price of ammunition outside the purchase realm of many low income citizens to include the working class.

I bet almost every person on this forum has never been shot at.

Well I have never been at directly, but one night a man fired a shotgun in my general direction when I was sneaking into the drive in movie, and once I had a cab driver pull a pistol and stick it in my face (it appeared to be a 400  or so caliber at the time), and threaten to shoot  me down in New Orleans.

I guess that means the sprinkling I get every time I go dove hunting counts.

So you tried to cheat a movie owner and stiff a cab driver. Sounds about right for you.
