But why? Just contribute to Heroic instead.

He can do what he wants - except closing Pandora's box. It stays open. The race is on, whether he participates or not.

Because it's literally impossible to solve. The party which would do that would literally be guaranteed to lose the next election and the other party would then revert the decision. A massive part of the US population gets really pissed when you try to take their guns (or even just the possibility of them having guns in the future). Trying to actually restrict gun ownership is political suicide in the US.

What could be done is solving the actual problem: Kids turning into psychopaths by being bullied over years until their mind breaks.

Actually restricting guns for the plebs is impossible in the US. The right to bear arms is literally in the constitution. And when looking at the (pretty damn short, but it does exist) history, it makes perfect sense (even though it doesn't actually work to keep the government honest and the feared British revenge war never happened).

What would be possible even in the US would be making it less likely that the abundant guns (which just ain't going away anytime soon) are used by people with serious mental problems - by reducing the likelihood of serious mental problems to happen.
You need a village to raise a kid.

Damn. I wished we had those in our school back then. What mischief I could have done with a borrowed drone like that...

I didn't see any CSAM on Reddit. But I can confirm that there indeed is plenty of adult porn there.

They should have learnt to do proper QA before they get to college. That is the actual problem to be solved.

For violent crimes it's probably just that men are on average stronger and more aggressive (at least they were a few decades ago).
For white collar crimes, higher positions with more criminal opportunity still are usually held by men. More opportunity means more abuse of opportunity.
On the low economic end, poor men are less likely to be able to benefit from help for internal and external reasons than poor women. So survival crimes are more likely to be done by men, too.
Men on average seem to also feel more the need for speed and are more risk affine. So they likely get more speeding tickets.

Different reasons for different types of crimes. There probably are also crimes that are more often committed by women or where the gender gap is insignificant. But nobody talks about crimes committed by women. So no idea whether women are even capable of committing crimes at all.

Looks like phrenology is back.

That's easy: If it's a service reasonably expected to be present on most desktop systems, it's part of systemd or will eventually be.
