Melzer, Scott (2009). Gun Crusaders: The NRA's Culture War. NYU Press. p. 38. ISBN 978-0-8147-9597-2 – via Internet Archive. The NRA had received its initiation into gun control politics decades earlier in the state of New York. The 1911 Sullivan Law required a police permit for New Yorkers to obtain a firearm. Although the hard-liners would not influence the organization for many decades, the NRA's now famous mantra—"Guns don't kill people. People kill people"—appeared at this early stage as an argument against gun control. (Limited pages accessible, free registration required for complete access)

McBurney, Donald (1983). Experimental Psychology. Wadsworth Publishing Company. p. 260. ISBN 0-534-01319-8 – via Internet Archive. The gun lobby assumes that people have free will and that they choose to kill. It follows from this that people who kill are different from ordinary people who would use a gun only in self-defense. The antigun lobby argues that the presence of a gun is a stimulus to use the gun. The two sides make different assumptions about the importance of determinism versus free will. One slogan might be: Guns turn people into killers. The gun control lobby's slogan, Guns don't die, people do, is less to the point but may be a better slogan because of its emotional appeal.
