Glenn Mollette argues gun control alone cannot end mass murder and suggests measures like waiting periods and background checks while noting that illegalizing drugs or prostitution did not eliminate their use. He advocates more school security, a sponsor program for adults, and a community revival of kindness to deter a single dangerous individual.
