I have always thought you could make that point with something like a knife. It is a tool made to assist in chores. You can use the knife to feed your family or kill your family. The knife is just a knife.
But a gun is specifically designed to kill. There is literally no other purpose for the gun. You can’t use it in a kitchen. You can’t use it to carve tools. Its only use it to take life.
That’s why the guns don’t kill people mantra rings endlessly hollow to me.
More right wing “guns don’t kill people” bullshit logic.

“the gun helps.”

The gun is “just following orders.”
Guns don’t….rappers do. I saw it on a documentary on BBC2.
