Oh god. I HATE when people HATE on that statement. It's like. Obviously guns don't walk around shooting people on their own accord but guns are dangerous, guns ARE used to kill people, guns do make it easier to kill people than back in the day when you had to like strangle people or cut them with a knife. Aaaaaahhrhrhrhrhggg!
By the same token, cars can cause more violent and bloody deaths than guns can. Obviously cars don't drive around hitting people on their own Accord (wahahah, total pun here) but cars are dangerous, cars ARE used to kill people, cars do make it easier to kill people than back in the day when you had to like strangle people or cut them with <s>a knife</s> your bicycle.

Why don't we just do away with automobiles and stop all the mentally unstable from abusing them?
Oh come on. A car is for transportation. A gun is for killing. If a car couldn't hurt people it'd be better. If a gun couldn't hurt people it'd be pointless.
