Teacher was wrong.! Actually, guns allow humans to kill other humans, quickly, efficiently, without the danger of confrontation that sticks, stones, knives or swords would involve. Kill anonymously, from a distance, from a hiding place. And, as a general rule, the human pulls a lever. The lever allows a hammer which strikes the detonation of a small explosion the pushes the bullet out of the gun. It is the bullet that kills people. Unless the gun is used to bludgeon the victim to death.

Hmm? Maybe guns aren't the problem. Don't ban guns just ban ammunition?
