They haven't actually committed a crime yet?
So if a plane falls out of the sky, and people die, we go back and try and resolve that issue, via manufacturing or training or what have you. Even if the next plane didn't crash because of the same reason. If a 747 full of people crashed every single month, we'd be doing something about it, not just saying it's ok. And....if a 747 full of people crashed every month for 5 years it would still be less than the number of people killed from firearms every year.
