I was unaware that inanimate objects can be morally bad. when guns aren't available in africa villages are simply butchered with machetes. at least a gun can be used equally well by a woman or child as well as a man.

there is a simple solution: don't do business with people who use force, since there is no indication they won't eventually use force on you. do not do business with people who do business with people who use force, they aren't very bright for the above mentioned reason.

What are you talking about?

I was unaware that inanimate objects can be morally bad.

I don't remember saying anything remotely like that. I was talking about selling guns to both sides in an armed conflict for profit. Every comment you seem to change the topic a little bit more.

ah, i ca never tell on the internet exactly what people are trying to say.

my solution still stands. coercion is wrong, profiting from coercion is wrong, akin to selling torture implements.
