"One of your products"
way to take responsibility out of the hands of the attacker

or a company producing bump-stocks? I mean literally like the day after

Considering that sales increased immediately after the shooting?

i don't think they needed to

Lockheed Martin lobbies the government to use their products to kill people more often and perpetuate wars

arguable

They share responsibility with the users

What is a dump stock?

the law avoiding and better named bump-stock

bump stock

not dump stock

Its not a great argument
its like saying that a truck company couldn't run an ad after the berlin market attack

its a way to ease the recoil of a rifle

couldn't is different than shouldn't.

i get their point here, I just don't really care I guess

and its more a question of "what did you think would get posted"

the word couldnt is not the point of contention

this isn't some ad on tv scheduled weeks ago

or in some ad network getting played at random

Lockheed Martin deleted the tweet in question, it's funny to see the incident covered even if you disagree with the spinning of it as LM being "fucking idiots"

it would have been funny if they retweeted the article about their product being used to kill kids and said "Got any exciting photos?"

i mean, thats basically what they did in the end.

Trump should have never touched the orb, he's tainted now

>contractor for US Military
>do your job
>US sells weapon you made for them to another country
>you are responsible for what happens
???

@Beemann isn't the US just allowing lockheed to sell it?

so the US govt doesn't sell directly unless its in stock

but I get the point

Are they?

That was always my impression

like the tanks I signed over to the Iraqi Army

those were in stock

My question ultimately is "how many steps removed do they have to be for it to not be their fault"

i signed... i think 10 over to them

I mean, if you sell to a person who is known for doing horrible things, are you not at part responsible?

did you know the person was going to do something horrible before they did it?

its fucking Saudi Arabia

did they say "hey bruh. I'm gonna go blow up some kids"

I suppose if the government decided to cut ties with Saudi Arabia and end foreign interventionism in general that LM lobbyists would just sit by and let it happen, then?

Or do we live in reality
