If people are ones doing the killing with guns, not guns in itself, it means that owners of guns are the ones responsible for killing. So it sounds like argument for regulating gun ownership. Like with driving license.

Guns make violence worse, so regulate them.

The prime actor in violence is a person, and that person still has the capacity for violence without a gun.

But let’s still prefer they don’t have one.
