I think both tamping down on hate (a sufficiently determined person with the intent of engaging in deadly violence will always find a way to kill) and reducing/eliminating easy access to weapons that make the use of deadly force too easy are necessary.

Other countries have had great success in tamping down on violent death by regulating/banning the guns used. By all means let's temper hatreds, but let's also take steps we know are effective in disarming those who will inevitable be touched by hatred despite our best efforts.
