"People with guns use guns to kill"

I was thinking about the once viral straw man fallacy, "guns don't kill people....yadda yadda", and trying to rephrase it in a way that would reset the assertion to make it representative of the actual social condition of concern. The mercy beseeching pose and expression of the tower/owl/man on the Keep tower relates to the central victim of the firing squad in Goya's painting, "Execution of the defenders of Madrid, the third of May, 1808." That was perhaps a first political protest painting in the western canon of art history. Madrid was also the first major city to experience aerial bombing of civilians, a precedent set by Franco and his fascist accomplices. Since then it has become a recurrent practice, spiting the notion of laws of war.
