If used properly and following the safety rules. The danger zone is in front of the barrel just as designed. The person doing the murder was not injured per the design of the firearm. So no it was not faulty and operated as designed. Three people died as the result of a man pointing that firearm at them and pulling the trigger and the weapon performed as designed. Now he is charged and convicted of murder as he made that choice and will pay the penalty for his actions. He could have done the same with a knife, rock, truck or car. If he did this with a knife or vehicle, would their design be faulty as well?
