Feud Settled With a Gun

The all too common story is that two guys, accompanied by their friends, got together to settle some kind of dispute.  A gun came out and someone ended up dead.

Let's presume it was an illegally owned gun and these guys were already criminals.  Those are usually the reasons for pro-gun folks to disclaim all involvement and responsibility.  I say they're wrong to do that because the gun came from them. It started out legally owned by one of them.

Due to the patchwork of inadequate gun laws, which the pro-gun folks fight to maintain, the gun slipped over the line and eventually ended up in the hands of the wrong guy.

What's your opinion? Don't you think people who argue so hard for lax gun laws should be willing to take responsibility for the results of those laws?
