The manufacturing of firearms is legal, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Liability should extend towards defective product. Otherwise, liability law will be turned upside down. Automakers will be held responsible for drunk drivers, Folgers will be held responsible for coffee spill burns, who knows where it will end. Bad legal precedent.
