The whole “what could have stopped X” question is a loaded one. But regardless, the answer is gun control, and U.S. law should learn from modern German law:

It’s crazy how even this right wing sources seems to understand that gun control is necessary and a requirement for low gun death rates, given that they admit right at the begging of the article that they have amongst the lowest death rates out there.

Total:

Germany: 1.04/capita

United States: 12.21/capita

Homicide only:

Germany: 0.06/capita

United States: 4.46/capita

If more guns & lax gun laws made us safe, we would should expect to see the opposite. Yet we don’t, because anybody with half a brain understands that a tool whose purpose is to kill as easily as possible will make killing easier when it is around untrained people/people with insufficient reason to own it/people who store them poorly.

That’s a 75x smaller gun homicide rate. We aren’t going to get that small of a rate without gun control.

Inb4 somebody calls me a troll despite putting effort into this: fuck off

You just told me no child in the U.S. goes hungry. So I don’t buy this act you’re putting on.

For children

So why did you say it is my job?

Quit trying to put words in my mouth.

I don’t have children, I’m not in poverty. I have not caused others to be in poverty. So how is it my obligation to solve U.S. poverty instead of the governments?

So why is it my obligation to address poverty instead of the governments?

It’s your job.

Why?

I think the government failing to address poverty is a form of hate for the poor. But good attempt to put words in my mouth.

“Why do people think conservatives hate the poor?”

Guess we aren’t allowed to do literally anything then. Roads are just inherently bad apparently. Fuck the kids, let em starve am I right? It is true evil to ask a citizen for a fraction of a cent to feed impoverished children.
