I think it's a bit disingenuous to deny that the purpose of guns is to kill people... not all guns, but certainly there are PLENTY of guns out there designed primarily for the purpose of killing people.Why shouldn't gun makers be held liable like other manufacturers?
Read the law and the subsequent court orders. Strict liability is for unintended consequences, such as eating a snickers bar that had poison chemicals that killed you down the line.
But guns are made to to kill. Killing is not an unintended consequence. Similar to the immunity that alcohol and tobacco receive!
Only a sick fuck would think that the purpose of guns is to kill people. You know, you. Guns are a tool. Table saws and baseball bats aren't made to kill either, but hey can
But it is also disingenuous to insist that because of that design intent, it is simply inappropriate or wrong to possess and use those guns for other lawful purposes.
And it is PURE SUPERSTITION to assert that because of that design intent, those who possess those guns will, or intend to use them for inappropriate purposes.
