Let's take your example 1 step further.

Can a gun be used for good? Yes
Can a gun be used for bad? Yes

Can a gun kill a person? No
Can a person wielding a gun kill a person? Yes

If you make a gun easier to wield, then it's easier for people to be killed.

yet guns aren't illegal.

But selling stolen weapons is illegal!

Not relevant. You are conflating shit worse that @Dashrender usually does.

Nothing inside the DragonBox is illegal. Not one thing (that we know of).

That box might be full of heroin, you don't know!

Okay, here.

Stealing guns and selling them is illegal. Providing a channel on which to sell illegal weapons (stolen weapons) is also illegal.

Gun shops have to perform background checks (at least in the US). So not as easy as just stealing all of the guns from the gun shop!

That is the issue. Any conflation of that fact is just putting rose colored glasses on.
