      I dunno. If you manufacture tools designed specifically for killing, for example, you’ve definitely played a part in somebody’s use of your tools for killing.

            They’re not necessarily made for killing. Most people defending themself with a pistol (whose only purpose is for shooting humans) would not want to shoot for the head or chest

                Was tornado cash made for laundering money?

                My point is that gun manufacturers will say they make their products for defense, not killing. Knife manufacturers, same. Hammer manufacturers, same.

                There’s very few products which everyone can objectively say are designed for killing.

                  No, guns are tools designed specifically for killing. They have no use as defense if they can’t kill. They’re not shields. You also can’t hammer a nail with a gun, or cut a steak with a gun.

                    You can sport shoot with them, you can hunt for food with them, and every military uses them…for mainly defense.

              I’m downvoting you, but only because you wrote “whose only purpose is for shooting humans”, which is false statement.

              Really, you could have used better examples like brass knuckles. They can’t be used for anything else other than injuring and killing people.
