Some will do harm to others. Most just want to live and let live.
Alpha, your stance seems very narrow minded, when you look at the things a global perspective.
Go tell the parents of the dead that everything will be better if they'd just look at things from a global perspective.

If you recognize that it's in people's genes, what makes you think you can talk them out of it?

Try putting it in front of the parents of the dead children.
Seriously, if you made that point in an open letter to the parents of the dead children, don't you think most people would think you're a giant douchebag?
How many children die in cars every year?
I don't see the parents of those children calling for a ban on cars! I don't hear high government officials proposing such a ban!
Same goes for guns in the good ol' U. S. of A.
White people can kill each other freely, but brown people can't kill a single white, is that it?
I know there's a stupid emotional reaction to these things, but people must realize that stupidity (If they can) and rise above it when designing regulation that applies to all.
You are wanting your own petty, tribal, local prejudice influence how things should be on a national level. And that is usually the wrong way to do things.
Sadly, there seems to be a high enough number of Americans that think the same way as you... All I can say is: Enjoy the long term results of going against the rest of humanity.
