Effective Anti-terrorism laws looks identical to effective anti-murder laws, which anti-mass murder legislation is part of. That might still sound too abstract, so let me list a few more concrete methods:
Good psychological health care. Healthy people do not walk into a day care and shoot children.
Justice system that focus on protecting society and rehabilitation, rather than jails focused on punishment. See Norway in healthy reaction to insane mass murderers.
A foreign policy that do not maintain wars indefinitely. Creating peace is never going to be easy when loaded missiles (drones) keeps flying above peoples head everyday. Torture is also a big no-no.
Well funded and staffed police investigators. This is how organized crime (which all terrorist organizations are) gets taken down. Taking down al-Qaeda is not much different from taking down a drug cartel. If anything, the drug cartel is more dangerous, got more guns, got more people, and is more secret.
