Way up above, Donuel brought this up, and I think it's very worthy of note:

flawed social logic:
guns don't kill people, people do
and in the case of rape, men don't rape women, alcohol does.

One could have a very lengthy thread on both of these topics.

Something makes me think the National Rifle Association intentionally practices techniques of building convincing logical fallacies. Intentional logical fallacy has a long and sordid history. The people who intend to mislead, ain't dummies. They do that stuff on purpose.
