    Uh, no. It’s a statement about the ability to modify property and laws relating to that. Not sure who brought up murder.

      It’s a statement comparing 2 objects that are forbidden to modify. Guns are forbidden due to their ability to kill even more people through modification, video game systems are forbidden due to their ability to hurt company profits through piracy.

      People are pointing out the huge moral difference between the bases for those two similar rules, and how one cannot compare them fairly as being equivalent unless they also believe those bases are equivalent.

        It’s not illegal to modify a gun, it’s illegal to modify a gun into a gun that meets certain criteria to then become illegal. The crime isn’t modification of the gun, the crime is the possession of a (now) illegal gun.

          So it’s… forbidden to modify it into something that kills even more people. There’s a reason I didn’t use the word “illegal.”
