	"Legislating from the bench" is a right-wing catchphrase, aka "{{l/rw\|judicial activism}}", which sounds problematic but actually more or less describes what judges are supposed to do.

 It's arguably true that "Guns don't kill people; people kill people", at least most of the time. This is, in fact, why we need to keep guns away from people. (...though it should be noted that sometimes guns do shoot themselves. They're dangerous, no matter how you slice it.)
