If someone is set on killing, they'll kill, or at least attempt it. That has been true for all of human history. Percentagewise, this is actually one of, if not the actual, least violent times in history. It seems greater due to population growth.

Blaming video games are stupid as well as Mountain Dew is stupid
Blaming the unrestrictive and loose gun laws is the right thing to doincorrect. Blaming does nothing. It attempts to point towards the source of a problem.
More restrictive gun laws do nothing. Criminals by definition do not obey laws. Also, once something is legal, it is nearly impossible to make it illegal again.
Even if all guns were destroyed, people intent on commiting crimes would find away. Ban guns, and they'll use explosives. Ban all chemicals, and we use bows. Ban bows and swords and tools will be used. Ban those and people will kill with rocks and sticks. Ban those and hand to hand combat will be used. Strict gun laws out of fear of violence aren't a slippery slope; it's an impending avalanche.
How about we focus on the victims more instead of the killer? Remember the victims, let the criminal be forgotten by everyone and never spoken of. Let him fade from existance. His sentence wouldn't just be self inflicted death; it would be as though he never existed at all.
The reason more people use guns because it's easy and efficient to use them. If you make it harder for people to kill I can tell you something, here it is, you'd find less people being killed. I know it sounds crazy, but I can guarantee you that this is true
