That was not their intended use, but a lot of people die in car wrecks, so therefore the cars are the reason people die. It has nothing at all to do with the driver of the car, thats just what cars do.
A lot of people die in gun "accidents" too.

A bullet flying through the air is the result of a thought and an action. As far as I know, most guns do not float around on their own randomly shooting people. Some of the most hated murderers in history have been shooters. Saying that Its perfectly acceptable to go around murdering people because the ease of which guns do their job is an effing red haring that is patently un-true.
I was being sarcastic. Apparently that was lost on some people.
