Hmm. Are you sure? How about tobacco, unbalanced food, guns, ... all these things are advertised and are causing deaths - so their hands are not clean either.

But yes, not their own customers, but the bad analogy holds only when you think that citizens are customers of the government.
- CamperBob2 11y agoTobacco and junk food are primarily harmful to people who voluntarily consume them, while guns are statistically never more dangerous than when wielded by one's own government/military/police forces. (There are exceptions -- such as present-day life in America -- but they are historically anomalous and probably temporary.)
