."..The display is about the object, not its use or historical
context. Remember, guns don't kill people, people kill people. And
without
the people who used those weapons in your exhibit, that larger scenario
is
almost a moot point. Allow the objects to speak for themselves."
It seems to me that a far more accurate perception is, "people use guns
to kill people."
