That adage is normally applied to people who actually harm other people with guns. There's no evidence I've seen that this individual ever harmed anyone.

He was in the business of building custom guns. Those types of firearms usually run in the thousands of dollars. His clientele is not the type seeking a weapon with which to knock over the corner Kwikee-Mart.
