Arresting people early would only exacerbate the problem. Guilty people should be treated as criminals and arrested, not-yet-guilty people should be guided down better roads before they go that bad. The attitude behind t-shirts like those drives some people to excel at their socially expected vocation. How much better off would be be if more of us had higher expectations?
Also, I think that lessons in proper shooting, gun safety, and marksmanship would make a good community service. I know it's one of those things people object to like sex education because they live in a fantasy world where less knowledge somehow seems safer to them, but seriously, so many fewer good people would be hurt or killed if these knuckleheads could handle themselves properly.
