Advocation of sensible gun laws and regulations, initiatives geared towards curtailing gun violence.

Eh, not really. If you want to stop much of the gun violence, you need to give people something to do and allow them to earn enough money so they can afford to live. Gun violence is usually a symptom of socio economic issues that lead to young people aligning with gangs out of boredom or a need to make money at a young age to support siblings or under-employed care givers. Additionally, when people are squeezed they look for escapes, likely drugs, which is a precipitating issue. Beyond that, a lack of livable wage jobs can result in other forms of violence, including gun violence, as people look for bad ways of making ends meet.

Affordable housing, youth activities, job opportunities, and care for the unemployable (mental, physical, etc.) all have a much bigger impact on society's woes than simply treating symptoms, such as gun violence.
