Will the REAL “Merchants of Death” please stand up?

How can anyone honestly stick this label on to people who straightforwardly trade in recreational drugs (e.g. tobacco, alcohol, caffeine etc.), hunting gear and self-defense equipment–which is manifestly totally the buyer’s right and responsibility to use carefully–while contract killers who are paid to directly, cold-bloodedly disembody a third party who has no say in the matter, has done nothing to deserve it and cannot defend herself or himself (i.e. “abortionists”) are looked upon even occasionally as heroes. Something is desperately hypocritical here to where it’s even demonic.
