Enforce laws on the books calling for lengthier prison terms for gun-related crime. We know for fact that the great majority of gun violence is committed by those with criminal records -- mostly felonies.

Edited to add: Make room for violent offenders by releasing the non-violent.

Although I wouldn't describe a person with a mental defect as a 'bad guy', I would suggest -- as nearly everyone does -- a greater emphasis on mental health. Kamala Harris left a LOT on money on the table that could have been used to improve and expand mental health care facilities in California. Unreal.
