If the article argued the guns are at fault and people arent responsible for their actions, that would be a problem but it isnt arguing that at all. Companies promote policy. Car manufacturers have actually promoted a lot of policy that puts road construction before public transport funding, parking instead of parks, etc. And yeah, car infrastructure kills more people and the environment, especially through pollution (respiratory illness) than public transport does. The US providing arms to Israel also boosted that violence and the numbers killed. The gun manufacturers are actively supplying (they even have branding aimed at cartels) and profiting from the violence, and they are responsible for their actions within that. Basically, everyone is responsible for their actions, companies are not exempt. Cartel members are responsible for their actions, companies are responsible for what they produce and what they profit from, where they send arms, what policies they promote
