Is the phrase "Guns don't kill people, people do" fallacious?

In discussions about guns and gun restriction, the following statement is often made:

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people"

Can you identify any fallacy in this sentence? If so, what is a generalized form of the fallacy? What is it called?
If there is no fallacy, can the usual arguments that are made with this sentence be validated by it? Do good arguments arise from it?

Please don't start a debate about guns, I am interested in the logic of the statement and any argument that can be made with it (or, as I suspect, cannot be made with it).

"Half Truths" (suppressed evidence): A statement usually intended to deceive that omits some of the facts necessary for an accurate description.

#Guns do not *make conscious decisions to* kill people, people *make conscious decision to* kill people.

"Equivocation": using a word to mean one thing, and then later using it to mean something different.

#Guns do not kill ("decide *consciously* to kill") people, people kill ("partake in the *act* of killing") people. A mental, conscious decision to kill ≠ physical act of killing.
