The sad part is you couldn't implement tougher gun control laws overnight. That would potentially further destabilize the U.S. due to extreme pushback and a perceived impingement on personal freedoms.
I think the only way to solve this is a slow-burn transformation of American culture to focus on crime reduction, perceive safety as a community responsibility, building respect for differing opinions, tolerance for others, and showing that toting guns is no longer socially acceptable, nor needed with the right security protocols in place.
Basically make people like Rittenhouse one day ask themselves why they would ever consider toting an AR-15 in public as a reasonable solution.
And that will take generations to achieve in the U.S. If it's even achievable at all (and most likely not).
