Whether deterrence is an issue is important. If someone kills another person, the choice of punishements doesn't effect you in any way. What does effect you is if someone else partially decides using the pounishment to shoot you up in some way. I don't care if you have a gun around, as you describe it can still happen, and that becomes an issue.
