Guns are pretty effective at that. If we don't like it, we need to out law them, not try to sue jmg257 Feb 2020 #10

responsible for any deaths or injuries caused by use of their products, you'd shut down the automotive industry in this country. Maybe that looks just fine to a lot of us, but don't expect the NRA and their supporters to not see through this.

the people who, legally, make exactly what their customers want.

Of course when their products have defects, you can sue them.

2nd Amendment in the way of outlawing guns.

Just like the vast majority of automobiles have not killed or injured a human, the same can be said for the vast majority of firearms.

used to murder as many people as possible and has done so over and over again? We do hold some industries responsible and that has not shut them down.
