sometimes people overdrink and get violent. its a misuse of a beverage.

guns exist for one reason. to kill. there is no other option. if we don't like that, we have to get rid of the guns. its that simple.

suing a gunmaker for correctly manufacturing a product whose sole purpose is to kill is ludicrous. the product is working as intended. if we don't like that, we have to get rid of the product or make its production/sale illegal.

lawyers are not going to get us out of this problem.
