So which is morally worse - selling them one weapon that will kill 1,000

Assuming that selling them is wrong, and that using them to kill is
wrong, then 1 weapon that kills 1,000 is worse, unless the owner is also
1000 times less likely to use that one big weapon than the small weapons.

Or was that supposed to be rhetorical?
