Gunshot wounds are caused by the impact of the bullet, not the pulling of the trigger. To say I killed that guy is ridiculous.

edit: at least someone who sells bullets or guns has the excuse that they can be used for sports or entertainment. If you pull oil out of the ground, it's meant to be burned, made into plastic, or put outside to roast in the sun.



Bad comparison. Here's the comparison you should have made to be in line with my comparison:

The people murdered with guns are murdered by people, not by the manufacturers of the guns.

Doesn't mean that gun manufacturers are nice people, but at least we wouldn't be making ridiculous statements and we could communicate what we actually mean accurately so that we can have a productive discussion.
