No...not defects...even worse.... a product specifically designed to maim or kill.

oh...so now instead of lumping them in together you want them treated differently....soooo...if you get mad and shoot up a mall with a gun the gun manufacturer should be sued but if you get mad and drive your car through a mall....the car manufacturer should be sued or not.... since a car is not a "product specifically designed to maim or kill".....I'm confused

please explain the difference...

and Google "knife infatada" and “Save a Life–Surrender Your Knife” and tell me if knife manufacturers should be sued when their products are misused


for the record, i don't own a gun, I'm not an NRA member and I've never watched Fox News

Every case is different so I don't lump everything together.
I would like to see all companies held to the same standard and they are not. Civil cases are for juries to decide.

I think your missing the point.
Gun manufacturers are immune from civil law suits with almost no exceptions. I think they should be held to the same standard as every other manufacturing business in the country. Why the exception? Very powerful gun lobby maybe.
So I guess if you can't make sense of that, my comments are moot.

not sure you have all your facts straight...sticking with your car analogy, I suspect if Ford or GM (Google GM shielded lawsuit) found themselves the target of 40 American cities and counties filing purely political law suits they'd seek the same protection ....I'm sure every creep lawyer in the country was drooling at the precedent and that may be why Congress acted so quickly, ..... no, I can't make sense of holding a car, gun, knife, lollipop manufacturer responsible for what an individual does with their legally manufactured and sold and non-defective product...
