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%.
