If it's not guns that kill people, but people that kill people, it also stands to reason that rules/laws do not kill people.

No serious person would argue that all drive-by shootings are due to our set of laws. Similarly, chalking up the magnitude of poor behavior by banks to our laws makes no sense whatsoever and totally ignores the incentives they had to take those risks.
