If I clean my gun (tool) while it's loaded (stupid idea) and it goes off, who's to blame? The 'stupid user causing the problem', right? I personally wouldn't blame the gun...
If it falls into the wrong person's hands, it's STILL my responsibility as the owner.
If you're not going to take time to learn to use and be responsible with the super sophisticated and all-powerful tools, don't play with them. I'm not arguing for the death penalty every time someone makes a mistake, but I think it's very important to accredit responsibility and blame correctly. We've learned these tools are potentially as dangerous as a loaded gun. Be responsible.
If your kid grabs your gun and shoots itself with it, it doesn't really matter if it's your responsibility, your kid is still dead.
Now change the gun for a radioisotope powder, or a vial of pathogens, and it doesn't matter it was ultimately your responsibility - hundreds or thousands or millions of people are still dead.
That's why normies do not get to play with toys whose lethal consequences scale far beyond the irresponsible users.
