As much as I dislike all the yahoos running around with firearms, it makes no more sense to go after manufacturers for liability issues than car manufacturers when somebody does a hit and run or slams into and over a crowd of people. The proper solution is far stricter limits on who gets guns and how they're used, just like you have all sorts of red tape on who gets to have and play with other potential WMD biologically hazardous materials like smallpox or plutonium.
