Guns do kill people. That's the whole point, and why I'm a 2nd amendment supporter. There is a fundamental right to self-defense. Any politician who disagrees is an incredible hypocrite, as they cavort from place to place with a cadre of armed bodyguards.

Nevermind that studies show a weak or non-existent link between banning guns and homicide reduction. But even if they didn't, the right to bear arms is more important than letting politicians decide who has the right to self-defense.
