Yeah, with guns. It's much harder to kill someone with rocks and sticks.
And easier yet to do it wholesale with a car or truck. The argument is age-old because the animism that gives rise to demonizing weapons seems perpetual. That an argument is old doesn't speak to its validity; if you would surrender the irrational belief that guns cause violence it wouldn't be necessary to repeat it.

Sorry if you had a problem with my spelling; it looks correct to me. Please bear in mind that in the sentence you quoted, "intent" is not a noun.
