Is there a way to reduce crime while reducing the need for stricter gun control? (lemmygrad.ml)

One idea I have is completely overhauling how we approach crime like giving criminals a reason to take the way out of crime.

Regular crime is overwhelmingly the result of poor economic conditions. Govern well, uplift people's living conditions and crime naturally fades.

I think you need to be a bit more specific abt the "govern well" bit.

People prefer the easier path, if it’s easier to be successful legally then people won’t turn to crime to maintain their goals. A government only need to focus on helping those worst off to reduce crime.

That's a win for us gun rights community imo since why ban guns when you can simply fight the problem by its roots?
