Ethics is our most pressing modern dilemma. What if the janitor and his two kids he raises alone are about to get kicked out of their flat unless he finds a new job, and he's been looking for 4 months and it's the only offer he got?

    Or I'll even take it a different direction. Say the janitor is single, lives a minimalistic lifestyle, and gives money to anti-war causes or politicians actively trying to regulate these weapons.

    Can we quantify morality? Is there enough of an ethical net gain here to absolve them?
