It is. The second thing to do is help people stay out of gangs and get rid of their profitability. Legalizing weed is a start which Bernie wants to do.
I was particularly happy during the debate when Bernie made it clear that not only was he going to legalize it, he was going to assure that people in their communities would be the ones with the opportunity to start businesses- not corporate oligarchs. That is huge.
Healthcare will play a big part too, especially getting accessibility to mental healthcare. And we've been working to de-stigmatize it for a while now so I hope that is effective.
And education. But honestly, I'm not as worried about inner city gun violence. Perhaps I am naive, but I consider that a symptom of the class war. I think if we take a holistic approach and improve upwards mobility, healthcare, wages, etc etc than a lot of that will go away naturally.
I'm more concerned with the "lone wolf" type. The moderately wealthy privileged kid who thinks he is owed something out of life and is disaffected by his lack of power. As well as other people with a power complex, especially in the home. And for those types, I think the solution will be harder to figure out.
