On Gun Control

" 'Guns don't kill people, people do.' No: obviously, people with guns kill more people than people without them. Why not bad knives or cars, which can be instruments of death, too? Because these things were designed to help people do things other than kill people. 'Gun control' means controlling those things whose first purpose is to help people kill other people."

-Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker writer.
