It is OK to "destroy arguments" if that is what you wish to do, my goal is that of intellectual investigation.

> The evil is innate to us and worldwide.

Prevailance of school shootings in US show that this kind of evil is indeed not innate worldwide. It is strongly rooted in United States. Nowehere else in the world people with access to firearams choose to end innocent children's lives at such scale. This is what troubles me.

Availability of guns is not unique to USA but using those guns to kill innocent children at super-unproportional scale is. Why?

If you don't have the answer to that question, the obvious solution is to remove the gun from the equation until you can answer the question.
