Are you responsible?

[Brian37]

Locks are made for honest people. Even if someone left their car unlocked, and running, it is not an invitation for someone else to take it. People need to be held responsible for their own actions.
Just because I can go and buy a power tool, doesn't mean Home Depot should be responsible if I use it to harm people.

Not the point. I agree, but still not the point. Anti theft and tracking technology have been added to cars, so have seatbelts and air bags, and you still cant allow a 5 year old to drive and drinking and driving is also illegal. And cars should move away from burning fossil fuels. There is more to any product made than just theft. Theft is one cost to society, but so is speeding, and accidents and court costs and rising insurance do to those other factors. 

You cant plug a banana clip into a power drill and murder 52 people 32 stories up. It is a matter of the maker of the product to care about the impact of how people use their products. Just like the auto makers need to face global warming.  Huge difference between legal and moral. There is a cost to firearm violence that is immoral to ignore it. Just because you can spray lots of bullets all at once, or a mentally ill person who's never been arrested, doesn't make it moral or wise to let a disturbed person have them. 

You are talking about individual examples, I am talking about a long term climate that is allowing too much violence.

And as far as power tools, makers certainly take responsibility. 100 years ago I doubt very many power saws had blade guards, and I am sure many makers back then said, "not our problem". But look at the power saws made today, they all have safety guards now. And I am damned sure those are standard regulations now too.
