About

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people!" is an argument in a box against gun regulation, often used on bumper-stickers and other advertising venues.

Interpretation

The implied argument is that preventing gun violence is best done by changing human behavior, not by preventing people from owning guns – and that therefore gun regulation is a bad idea.

Rebuttals

  • This is why we are trying to regulate humans, not guns.
  • Guns don't kill people by themselves.
  • People without guns don't kill people nearly as easily.
  • Guns don't kill people; people with guns kill people.
