Broken hearts are hard to mend
For doctors, family or even a friend
So much anger, too much hate
Too many people with too much on their plate

Heartaches happen every day
A bad actor comes to steal lives away
At a school a movie concert or church
No time to address all the hurt

Thoughts and prayers have all been given
Multiple times from us the still living
It's true we can't stop every one
Let's regulate bullets if not the gun

The last line of your poetry stirs the cauldron of deep divisions of thoughts and opinions. The slaughter of innocent people is well-seated in Mankind's history.
Every weapon from guns, knives, and gasoline to sticks and stones will all need to be "regulated". Maybe we, as people should all be regulated. All of us locked up and the last one standing with the cell key, performs seppuku.  

You can't regulate prophecy.  

...just bein' Bluesy
