Good question, thanks for asking.

…I’m not really focused on gun laws.  I feel that gun laws are very far from the issues that lead up to and result in gun violence.  I understand that if one doesn’t have a gun, they can’t use a gun, but I also recognize that millions of people have access to guns and don’t use them to harm others.  I also don’t believe that banning firearms or certain guns will stop people from getting their hands on them.  However, I do believe gun violence would be lowered if less guns were on the streets… it only makes sense.  But then some responsible owners may lose their right to bear arms…

Back to the question; a theory that can prevent gun related deaths.  With almost any societal problem, things start with the home/family life and close relationships in general.  (I believe) A lot of the gun related deaths stem from harsh environments, broken communities, poverty and stress.  The latest statistics say most gun deaths are actually suicides, pretty interesting and unfortunate.  I think better situations, better environments, better educations, and most importantly, more positive relationships are the best ways to prevent gun deaths.
