YES! YES, YES,YES!

The Sandy Hook Settlement against Remington includes the release of marketing information that Remington used to sell the gun that killed 20 children.

This is Tabaco industry level news! We, and all the poor gunners, are going to see how little the gun industry thinks of them and human life if it can sell ONE MORE GUN!

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

We need to make it financially painful to manufacture sell or distribute murder toys. This is the first step to doing so but we need to go further.

If a gun is used in a crime, the manufacturer needs to be sued for knowingly creating a tool of death. Whomever sells that gun needs to be sued as well for allowing that gun to fall into the hands of a criminal. If they hadn't participated in this immoral activity, that crime would never have happened and they are culpable and need to be held accountable for the harm that they've caused.

If a violence enthusiast sells a gun or it's 'stolen' they need to be held liable for the damage that gun causes. If they hadn't decided to buy a gun, the damage that gun inflicts wouldn't have happened. We need to make these sad insecure little men compensate society for the damage their hobby/fetish inflicts.
