How to Change the Future of Guns & People

So yesterday, while Sharon Hilt & I were decorating a friends home, in preparation for her celebration of the holiday of her choice, a group of terrorists killed an obscene amount of people. We knew nothing about it until Gwen came home. And my heart broke again.
If, by some miracle, actual, good 'gun control' was passed today, IT'S TOO LATE. There are too many guns owned by people who have no business having them to ever be able to regulate. EVER. Society as a whole needs to change. RIGHT NOW. SOMEHOW people must stop irrationally hating other people so much they feel the need to kill them. How do we teach people to stop hating? How do we know who to be worried about having a killing attack? Our Country (because, check the stats-Europe does not have this problem) has gone mad. We shouldn't have to be afraid if we go to the movies, we'll be injured or killed. We shouldn't have to be afraid of our kids going to school & coming home OK. This is bigger than gun control.
I really don't know the answer, only the problem. The problem is hate. How do we change that? The people who already are carrying a load of hate are who we need to fear, and help. It's not mental health in terms of mental illness but is a culture of mental health of hate, aversion, bullying and disrespect.
How happy I would be to see my Facebook feed full of the the hope of the future, the children. A day of nothing posted but Graham, Ella, Delaney, Felix, Henry, Marion, Grace and all the other children who are our future. These babies will not be taught to hate. How do we save the others who don't have the same kind of parents?
