I think that it's a good thing we're horrified by our own desire to solve things via violence. It doesn't necessarily stop us from thinking that way, but it does force us to recognize that it's the wrong way to look for solutions.
I've had to remind myself periodically not to wish lethal violence on people like Mitch McConnell and his ilk. I try to settle for "I wish he'd have a debilitating stroke that forces him to retire from the Senate" type maledictions.
