Hey, I completely agree with the suggestion to make accessibility to weapons extremely hard. I don't think weapons should be carried by civilians. This can be applied to guns with some effort, however, there are some tools that are hard to classify as weapon or otherwise. As an example, a kitchen knife. Murders have been happening since biological patterns came into existence (except that wolves or tigers or lions or whoever it was didn't actually know better to create a word for it). So in that respect, making accessibility difficult or even banning possession or use of weapons is not practical.
What needs to be done is sharper licensing of weapons (so as to track without error the law breaker) and some kind of technology that limits function of weapons by civilians. I'm not sure what laws already exist for all this, but I'm pretty sure by the rate things are happening, those laws are not being put into action well (if at all they exist). You don't always need high-tech rifles to kill people around; underworld folks don't even need knives. Good old masculine hands are more than enough. So, except than scaring the daylight out of would-be thiefs and murderers by imposing laws, there is no good enough way to really stop or minimise this kind of activity. I wonder if there absolutely *has* to be some kind of bad forces in the world to keep it running.
