Reasons To DisagreePeople making choices increase the liklhood of death. Weapons are tools 27 November 2018
The problem is more complex than a simple agree, disagree, neutral question. For starters: https://www.unodc.org/documents/gsh/pdfs/2014_GLOBAL_HOMICIDE_BOOK_web.pdf 27 November 2018
Inanimate objects objects are not the reason for any form of violence as they are only tool of the person or weapon using them. Almost anything can be used as a tool to do harm to others and I am including spit wads, straight pins and paperclips in this. 29 November 2018

All weapons are innocent, it's those who use them are to blame for any evil becoming. 14 June 2020

Reasons To AgreeThe question has no mention of any specific weapon type, therefore you cannot argue that guns dont kill people people kill people. However, the prevalence, ease of access and lack of proper background checking certainly does not help the statistics of death using firearms. It has been proven in serveal countries that when certain laws are enforced (not making firearms illegal but making is harder to get them) the death rate involving firearms decrease immensely. 14 June 2019

Reasons for Remain Neutral
It really depends on who has them, and how they are used.
The prevalence of undereducated people carrying weapons for the wrong reasons in society increases the likelihood of death or injury.
