Quotes by Philip J. Cook  (?)

“A popular slogan claims that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” The intent is no doubt to suggest that if “people” were deprived of guns, they would find some other means of killing each other—that what matters is the intent, not the type of weapon. What is missing from this argument is that without a gun, the capacity to kill may be greatly diminished. One wag suggested, “Guns don’t kill people, they just make it real easy.”
