About
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people!" is an argument in a box against gun regulation, often used on bumper-stickers and other advertising venues.

Interpretation
The implied argument is that preventing gun violence is best done by changing human behavior, not by preventing people from owning guns – and that therefore gun regulation is a bad idea.

 * "If guns don't kill people, then why do we give people guns when they go to war? Why not just send the people?" -- attributed to Ozzy Osbourne
