191. What on earth makes you think that?

Guns are made for killing people. Yes, some people who commit murders with guns may have committed the murders in other ways, but you can't state that as fact every murder would have happened regardless of method. Say I wanted to mow a lawn. Maybe I'd find a way to do it if I didn't have a lawn mower, but I'm sure a hell of a lot more likely to do so if I have something made for mowing lawns.
