Yeah, but this is more like if the Smith & Wesson factory had a cannon mounted on top of it that was mostly used for useful things (blasting roads through mountain passes) and then occasionally they happened to blast another factory.

Or say a company makes nerve gas, and the development lab springs a leak and kills a bunch of kids during a routine test. Management had been advised of small leaks in the past, and considered relocating the lab to a facility a few blocks away from the playground as a precaution, but instead they brush of the concerns, start lobbying the government for stricter controls on WMD development, and vow to use the data collected from the deceased children to make the next generation of even more lethal chemical weapons safer.
