Finally, you'd need some significant programs implemented to create and house said individuals. Who's going to pay for that?
Plenty of simple ideas...........no real solutions.

It would involve increased parental awareness. Most won't comply or pay attention but maybe some will, and maybe enough to make a small difference.
For housing, make room by moving out the petty pot possession offenders.
There is no doubt that something has to be done. As the Pres says, we can't just sit and wait for the next massacre to happen. If you can't control guns, you have to control the sick individual.
