I don't think tools are extropian - people are.
You can do more damage and more good with a powerful computer than
with a gun. Technology is amoral. All technology can be used towards
extropian goals, or toward 'entropian' goals.
The choice is ours.
Certainly, rejecting technology that the 'entropians' regularly misuse
(such as guns) will not help the 'extropians'. After first inventing
the technology, and letting it fall into the wrong hands, giving it up
completely into the hands of 'entropians' is probably the dumbest
thing an 'extropian' can do.
