I have seen on facebook post about the facts that guns don't kill people...

and that guns are not the problem. No, guns don't kill people, the person behind the trigger is the one that does! I said this and the response I got, was absolutely absurd! I won't go into detail, but the fact that they feel this way is alarming. I stated on a friend's post the fact that military weapons should banned from the public. I had some people agreed with me, but for the most part, people say that I am wrong. I am not against taking guns away from those who use them for hunting or for the protection of their family or home. But when an unstable person has access to a weapon that can kill several people in one magazine of ammunition, is not logical! This is mind boggling that the more shootings and killing of more people, they strengthen their hold on their guns and ill willed thinking?

Do guns walk, talk, fly, and shot bullets by itself? Ummmmm, not at this point in time yet, therefore, people with the intent to kill other people with guns do kill. That statement above is illogical.
