Guns are not guilty--people are

Recently I saw a statement that said, guns are evil. 

I responded that guns are tools, people are evil. Let's place the blame where it needs to be. 


They responded that if the person had not had a gun, people would not be dead.


If a person has evil intent, he would make a bomb. He would set the building on fire, gasoline and a match--both legal and easily obtainable. When a person is intent on doing evil, they will find a way. And a person with such intentions does not care that the gun is illegal. People that can not legally own a gun (underage, felons, etc), still do. I just think the blame needs to go to the person or people. We don't blame the car or the booze when there is a drinking related accident, we blame the driver--the person that made bad choices, not the instruments he used.
