      I notice you didn’t actually respond, just pulled out some classic logical fallacy.

      I’m not absolving the armorer here.

      You don’t like the cars vs guns analogy, fine. I was just making it relatable to righties.

      If you put something in my hands that is capable of killing a person, I’m going to be 100% sure of how not to kill a person with this thing.

      Maybe it’s a firework. The armorer has told me that when I light it, I have exactly 5 seconds to ditch it so I don’t hurt anybody. The armorer is fully culpable here when the firework goes off in 1 second and blows off my hand. I am culpable when I take said firework, and throw it into the unsuspecting crowd. We are both culpable when the firework goes off early AND is tossed into the unsuspecting crowd.
