That is a nonsense argument. By that logic we should let arms dealers sell individuals tanks, missiles, nuclear weapons. Why not? The objects themselves aren't destructive afterall! The reason is because their POTENTIAL is FAR more destructive and you cannot leave their use up to the whims of an individual with no oversight. That is why we don't! We draw the line somewhere already. So to pretend we don't and that it's all fair game and it's all peoples' fault so it doesn't matter anyway... that's just naive.
