I imagine more people die from drunk driving than gunshot wounds. Outlaw motor vehicles and alcohol?
I'd suggest those thinking they'll burn in hell for eternity are less likely to commit the sin that puts them there. Bring prayer back to schools?
First question, no. That's not a reasonable restriction. But the police do set up DUI check points and the punishment for a simple DUI (no accident, injury, death etc) is fairly steep.
Second question, as someone who went to Catholic school for over ten years, I know that forcing kids to pray in school doesn't make them better people. But if you're OK with your kids being led in prayers from the Koran everyday, please call your representative and try to get the change made.
