One of the favorite arguments of avid gun owners as to why we should not ban assault style weapons is that guns don't kill people - people do. I heard this argument made within hours of the Parkland school shootings where a person killed 17 people and wounded another fifteen in 4-6 minutes (reports seem to vary). And within days of that mass shooting the speaker of the House Paul Ryan was blaming makers of films and video games, but not gun manufacturers.
