Well, an interesting statement, I say this in jest but I bet you there has been a carpenter by profession who has killed someone with a hammer before. Therefore, yes, carpenters are killers.You can kill with a hammer, are carpenters killers?
Your statement raises more of a critique of inductive reasoning we hear from so many much to my chagrin as it simplifies their argument for more restrictions:
carpenter uses a hammer
hammers are used in murders
therefore, all carpenters are murderers
Look through my toolboxes, and you'd find quite a few things that could make excellent murder weapons, if someone chose to use them as such.
Same would be true of most of my colleagues.
I guess this must mean that all construction workers are murderers.
