“Nobody blamed the lightsaber”

“Nobody blamed the lightsaber” is an anti-gun control saying that has been printed on many images. That is, it’s not the instrument that is to be blamed. “Guns don’t kill people—people kill people” is a related saying.
   
“Nobody blamed the light saber” (also shown on an image) was posted on Reddit—Funny on December 15, 2012. “http://i.imgur.com/4XUme.jpg Nobody blamed the lightsaber” was posted on Twitter by Artanis Bunker on December 15, 2012.

Wikipedia: Lightsaber
A lightsaber is a fictional energy sword featured throughout the Star Wars franchise. A typical lightsaber is depicted as a luminescent plasma blade about 3 feet (0.91 m) in length emitted from a metal hilt around 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length. First introduced in the original Star Wars film, it has since appeared in most Star Wars films, with at least one lightsaber duel occurring in each installment of the “Skywalker saga”. The lightsaber’s distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original films, and with digital effects for the prequel and sequel trilogies.
