I am happy that you know that there has to be a person pulling the trigger, in other words, people killing fellow people with gun. But your confusion lies on the rationale behind thinking otherwise by some people. The possible answer is that people've got the rights to their respective opinions.However, the fact always remain the truth irrespective of one's personal views.

Because, guns are dangerous weapons, with or without a person to pull the trigger.

guns do no longer kill, till someone pulls the set off. guns are inanimate gadgets, no longer able to firing or operating without a individual. motor automobiles of all kinds and training do no longer kill, till operated through a individual, which consists of a moronic nut using a cellular telephone even as attempting to rigidity, and collides head on with yet another automobile, also operated through a individual. Baseball bats kill in elementary words even as used through a individual as a perilous weapon. Knives (edged guns) kill in elementary words even as used as a perilous assualt weapon, which consists of the brutal murders commited through scumbag O.J.Simpson, even as he murdered his spouse and Ron Goldman. very almost any inanimate merchandise can develop right into a perilous attack weapon, in elementary words even as a individual directs and controls that merchandise. Now for a truth examine in the authentic and unsightly society in which we stay; guns are right here to stay, or maybe with if the police state could violate our second Admendment rights and confiscate all the legally owned guns from regulation abiding electorate, unlawful gun possession might want to nevertheless be in the thousands of thousands. motor automobile injuries kill many extra human beings than gun appropriate incidents each day in the united statesA. and the international. all and sundry can dream of a Camelot, the position there is not any favor for a gun or different weapon, even with the indisputable fact that, the united statesA. isn't even on the point of fixing right into a Camelot. each and every and well-known in this united states, the united statesA., someone with a hid carry or get entry to to a gun, has prevented against the law or killing from taking position on numerous occassions, and the leftist,liberal information media is not in any respect going to record those information.

I wonder how many times guns save lives.
I have an old Colt 38 that has saved my life twice, just by pointing it at somebody, not firing it.
Let's get a little perspective in this:
Guns cause 1,500 accidental deaths per year in the USA.
Suffocation causes 3,300
Burns cause 3,700
About 4,000 people drown, 8.500 are poisoned,almost 15,000 die because of falls, and more than 40, 000 in auto accidents.

people dont think that, only certain people do. our 2nd ammendmant is something that should be protected as much as the rest of our rights. some people say that thinking that if there werent guns there wouldnt be murder, thats just stupid even if they got their way and ripped us of one of our most important rights (to keep and bear arms) there would still be murders and guns. what those same people dont say or show is all the crimes that are stopped by civillians with guns that run off burglars and protect their families with guns. just knowing that people own firearms keeps criminals at bay. just imagine how the crime rate would rise if criminals knew that they were the only ones with guns.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns just help move the process along.
Maybe instead of banning guns they should ban stupid people from being able to walk the streets.

That is a very good question because it is people who kill people.
Guns are just the accomplice. I guess it is just one of those urban myths.
