So when your local arms dealer sells an AR-15 to a felon, and that felon murders someone with it, is the arms dealer not at fault?

Same principle here, you, as a country, sell military grade weapons to civilians, you're up when they use them for war crimes.
Actually they're not. They're at fault for selling him the weapon, which is illegal in its own right, but in no way at fault for what he did with it. You're either right or wrong. Kinda depends on how you meant it.

Which groups and countries in the world are felons and which ones are not?

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to provide military grade weapons to civilians, thus any civilian receiving a BUK missile system is automatically a felon.

Let's cut this short, because we'll agree to disagree:

You are responsible when people you had no right to legally sell weapons to misuse these weapons.

And you're disagreeing with that. Let's move on.

Malaysia Airlines crash: flight recorder found as anger at Russia mounts ??" live updates | World news | theguardian.com

... so we now have an alternate version of what happened, with this being a Russian Buk system sent across the border to Donetsk, and that the reports of rebels seizing control of a Ukrainian missile system were a cover to explain how the rebels suddenly had access to sophisticated anti-air capability.
Sounds like a Ukrainian cover to cover their own ass and pin this on the separatists. Pretty transparent.

The downing of MH17 was the main story on the front pages of most of most newspapers around the world on Friday, but not Russia, writes Shaun Walker.

The state-run Rossiiskaya Gazeta led with a story about the eating habits of Russians, relegating the 298 deaths aboard MH17 to the bottom of the front page.

Other Russian newspapers led with stories about US sanctions on Russia, including the respected Vedomosti, in what was either a strange editorial decision or a conscious plan to play down an attack that much of the world was already linking to Russia.

State television reported the incident, but claimed that it was Ukrainian army missiles that shot down the plane. Channel One on Friday said the Russian Defence Ministry had spotted missile radar activity in Ukraine on Thursday.

More outlandish theories, such as the idea that the plane?s red-white-blue colouring had meant that the Ukrainians mistook it for Vladimir Putin?s presidential jet and thus shot it out of the sky, were jetisonned after an initial airing.

The Russian Twittersphere was awash with conspiracy theories about Ukrainian or even US involvement in the downing of the plane. The boss of the Kremlin?s English-language television channel, Russia Today, wrote on Twitter that she despaired of people jumping to conclusions about what had really happened, shortly after retweeting an opinion saying that Ukrainian ?freaks? were behind the attack but would attempt to blame pro-Russian rebels.

However, one of the channel?s British reporters, Sara Firth, appeared to go off message with a series of disparaging tweets in which she said the channel?s reporters were engaged in ?lies?. In comments that are likely to embarrass the channel, Firth wrote:

?We do work for Putin. We are asked on a daily basis if not to totally ignore then to obscure the truth?.

Who gives a fuck whether you recognize them or not to impose your ridiculously arbitrary civilian definitions of gun laws and felonies?

People dont need your recognition, approval or a uniform to fight for freedom. All they need is a weapon and a hatred of tyranny.

By the way, a gun dealer is not responsible for a crime committed with a weapon he sells
