efficacy of law

i can't fight the media bombardment and spewing rhetoric from all sides.
it doesn't matter which side you support.
the agreement must be on this:

laws and restrictions are only band-aids.
they attempt to stop things that have already gone wrong.
violent crime can only go away with better education and a mentally healthy society.

the gov't can build as many jails, hire as many cops, and pass as many laws as they want.
as private citizens we can train defensives, own as many protective tools as we want.
but as long as violent, unstable people are being produced, they will find a way to harm others.
lobbyists and advocacy should move towards preventing people from going off that deep end.
then it won't matter what dangerous weapons are available to whom.

i mean, someone ate someone's face off last year. will we ban TEETH?
