Perhaps you are unaware of the nature of global arms control and how much work goes in to prevent scenarios exactly like this. Small arms proliferation is much harder to control, but yes there has been extensive reporting on Operation Fast and Furious where US gun sellers were allowed to sell to Mexican cartels under ATF supervision. [0] Those guns were used against both US and Mexican citizens, including fatally against 1 US Border Patrol Agent in 2010. Looking farther back, during the Falklands war in the early 80s there was much controversy over the Exocet anti-ship missile, which was manufactured and sold by France. When these missiles were successfully used against British warships near the Falklands, Britian successfully lobbied for France to stop selling them to the Argentinians.[1] So yes, it's actually very common to put the responsibility of how their products are used on arms manufacturers. It's a good thing and it keeps the world safer.
