Your logic is very flawed. Let's assume for example that a criminal gang places hand grenades in kindergartens across America, and many children die as a result of playing with them, is it the children's fault? You might say no, because children don't really know the dangers involved with explosives, but here's another example.

But let's say a criminal gang places tens of thousands hand guns in colleges across America. Students do know what guns are. In this scenario, I predict mass shootings will increase by a crazy amount, as well as suicides, etc.

Would you really blame the students? Sure, some of the blame rests on each person who picked up the gun, but THE MAJORITY of the blame goes to the person who enabled this.

I hope this example changes your view, because it's so strange you act as an apologist for a ruthless criminal gang, and is unwilling to admit that there's a larger picture.
