Honestly as a non american I always thought the point of that statement was that its not guns that kill people its the way you hand them out like candy with the barest excuse for any kind of safety evaluation that kills people.

No, it's the idea that people who are murderous will kill no matter what.. missing the point that it's harder for them to do that successfully if they don't have guns.
