Guns don’t kill . . . fallacies
Personification of Inanimate Objects Principle.
It’s a metaphor and not an argument. Logical fallacies describe invalid premises for arguments.
Guns don’t kill and people misspell words.
Actually that is no fallacy. Since we know guns don’t kill, people use guns, we can make the inductive argument that pencils don’t misspell, but people use them when misspelling. So it is a valid inductive argument, not a fallacy, but to be an inductive argument you must place it in the form of a premise:
People use guns when they kill as they use pencils to make mistakes when they spell.
(Or anything similar that has the same outcome. But be careful not to draw the implication that BECAUSE they use guns to kill they therefore use pencils to misspell. The inductive argument must be that neither a gun nor a pencil can be used to a poor end result without a human behind it.)
