The sale of arms worth over 22 million dollars by the British government to Sri Lanka in the ended war is public now. A statewment from the British Foreign office states "We do not grant export licenses where there is a clear risk that arms will be used for external aggression or internal repression'.

Would you have sold Nerve gas to the Nazis with the excuse that it's just a tool?
Your argument is a simple extention of the rather feeble "Guns don't kill people - people kill people"
