Instead we get, guns save lives, they are for protection, they’ll protect from a tyrannical government, a witches brew blaming everything except the thing that caused death.

the "thing" that caused death wasnt the gun. The gun will not do anything that the person in possession of it makes it do. But, using your analogy, heroine, meth, cocaine among others cause death. Why dont we ban them? Oh wait, they are already banned. Guess that didnt work. Running over people with a vehicle is a cause of death, ban that too. How about banning knives since stabbings cause death. We should ban drownings because they cause death. This may sound extreme, but the premise is sound. Banning things doesnt preclude them from happening. I have multiple firearms that sit in my closet and around my home and have had for 30 plus years and as of yet have not killed a single human being. Blaming the gun is total Bull [BLEEP]. Did the gun kill anyone? No the person with the intent to kill someone With the gun caused death. BIG difference.
