Should Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Honda, Toyota, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo, etc., etc., be held liable for every person killed in an automobile accident?? How about just the ones who decide to use their vehicle as a weapon to deliberately run someone over, or crash through their house??
Don't even try the "but guns are made for one purpose only... TO KILL!!!" line on me either. I know people who own guns that have never shot at anything but skeet, paper targets or cans/bottles. PEOPLE decide to use them to kill other people with, just like they decide to use vehicles, ball bats, hammers, knives, fire, poison and even their bare hands. Should the manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and importers of all of those products be held liable?? If not, why not?? Can you sue GOD for making hands??
I don't have an issue with this, and I consider myself about as far to the left as you can get! I'm a gun owner myself, and I supported Dennis Kucinich, even though he was "anti handgun". I am definitely NOT a "one issue voter".
Peace,

On edit: Sorry, sheshe2... I usually don't look at the author of an OP, just read the headline and click if I want to read it. I changed the word "bullshit" to "line", as I respect you and we agree on many things. I will just have to politely disagree with you on this issue.
Peace...
