I mean, if all else fails and you think they are a genuine threat to society and that every other attempt has been made and failed...what else remains?
I'm skeptical that premise is true. Regardless, If the only two options truly were a person kills others or kills himself, I'd probably ship him off to fight in a war somewhere.
I didn't even realize this was a thing, but you could start by not sponsoring their application for a gun. Hell, if they're doing anything illegal you could help get them convicted of a crime so they can't possess a gun. If they are using drugs, you could report them to the government, since it's quite illegal to possess guns and drugs at the same time.
"All else fails" implies a serious lack of "all else".
Trans-treated people are infamously, as per the meme, the 43%ers. But body dismophia concerning genitals clears up in over 95% of cases on its own, if it is not left to be indulged in. Which implies there are several solutions better than the current treatment, if "nothing at all" has a better success rate (defining "success" as "not suiciding", in this instance).
And that's just minor "elses". There's much more major "elses" that can be done: The religious zealots can be made atheist. The communist zealots can be made apolitical. The sexual zealots can be made asexual. "All else" is a very strong and powerful category that we do not like to engage in, and instead, let tragedy happen in the name of freedom. That's not "all else fails", it's "necessary evil", and even then, a contentious definition of evil.

Imagine being broken by women.
