This is the 'sue the gunmakers' argument.

  While I don’t believe the parent argument is well founded, this is also meaningfully different from the “sue the gunmakers” argument. This scenario feels a bit closer to Walmart selling guns without properly vetting the buyer, which does seem like something the seller could/should get in trouble for. This is also an imperfect comparison because Amazon is just facilitating the sale, not directly selling the product. But my primary point is that there are more layers to consider here.

  It's more like if a gun store sold a kid a gun and recommended they buy a booklet titled "School shooting for dummies" and then that kid went and shot up a school.
