My gosh, I have 2 jars of Costco peanut butter that I need to return because the product has been recalled. Does bad peanut butter kill people? Does it make people sick?

The question isn't 'Does it?' Instead it's 'Can it? Is it likely to? Is the risk worth a human life or anyone's health?'

If guns don't kill people, then neither does putrid contaminated food. You want that? If one is regulated and taken off the shelves because of harm to humans, why not remove the other as well?
