Why the fascination with *why* something was invented?

Because someone thinks it's a shortcut to declaring that "guns are
inherently evil".

No - it's those who use them that are evil.

So then you have no objection to guns and rather than banning the thing
you should look to how to control the activities of those who are
"evil".

How do you ban evil people ? Maybe you would shoot them ? Personally, I reckon
removing killing weapons from ready access is a sensible answer.
