By far the easiest win would be to enforce laws more strictly against people who have proven themselves to be violent.
Many homicides are committed by people who already have a violent past or other very troubling crimes. Putting them in jail, and preventing them from purchasing guns for at least some time after release, would dramatically bring down homicide numbers.
And once they are a prohibited person, if you find them with a gun put them in jail again.
No constitutional challenges and no new laws even need to be passed. Just police and DAs doing their jobs.
Unfortunately in a lot of cities the clearance rate on murders is pathetic. In Chicago it's about 50%, and it's only that high because so many suspects are found dead.
