An Avalon anti-gun spouter completely flew in the face of logic

Wildwood - An Avalon anti-gun spouter completely flew in the face of logic by saying, "A Wildwood spouter is correct: Violence is driven by human nature. And guns do facilitate violence, but they are also causative." Guns are also "causative?" How do guns cause violence? Do knives cause violence? How about lamps? I have seen a few people beaten to death by lamps over the years. I have a gun, and yet I feel no urge to go out and commit any violence against anyone. Yes, indeed, guns do facilitate violence. It is easier to shoot than to stab or beat someone. But they in no way cause violence.
