It seems weird to me to conflate "advocating the legal right to own technology that can be used to do X" with "doing X", even though obviously you can disagree with both.

I think it's quite reasonable to make a distinction between Xs that are "kill people" and Xs that are not.

That's true, the phrasing isn't quite what I intended. More accurate would be "whose purpose is" rather than "that can be used for".
