Eddie Izzard said it best.  I paraphrase:

"They say guns don't kill people.   People kill people.  But I think the gun
helps.  I think just standing there going (make shape of gun with thumb and
forefinger) "bang!  bang!" isn't really going to kill a whole lot of people.
You'd have to be pretty dodgy on the heart to have that kill you".

It's funnier if you hear it with a British accent as told by a transvestite.
Truly.

My response to the "guns don't kill people, people do" is that yes that is true, but a gun sure does make it easier.  It would be very hard for a single person to go on a rampage with a knife or a sword and kill dozens of people.  It is just so much easier to run a way from blade then an Uzi.  Even with a bow or crossbow, these at least take strength and training to use effectively and are still rather slow in fire rate so it would be hard to kill that many people in most circumstances.  Heck, even explosives takes at least some knowledge and/or luck to use effectively without blowing up oneself before hand.
