If a gun explodes in your hand while shooting factory ammuntion, you can most certainly sue for damaged, because they made a flawed product. If a lot of one kind of gun explodes in the same way, then you can certainly file a class-action suit.
Gun makers don't advertize too much on TV, and gun makers don't make toy guns, either. Maybe they should be suing Nerf for making kids think guns are toys.
Citizens aren't being harmed by guns; they're being harmed by PEOPLE. And there are generally at least 3 retail steps between a gun being made and a gun being sold, so why the hell would you sue the gun makers? Especially for crimes committed years after the gun was made and initially sold?
And your constant drenching of yourself in the blood of children is getting a little tiring. It sounds disturbingly similar to the rhetoric spewed by BushCo. It was controlling, emotional claptrap then, and it's emotional controlling claptrap now.
If you're so concerned with saving children's lives, can I count on your support for a 5mph national speed limit, enforced by mandatory governors installed on all vehicles? Or is being able to race to the drive-thru at 40 mph worth thousands of dead kids a year?
And, um, you are voluntary posting from another source, and supporting that source's viewpoint. So, it's "yours".
