- lostlogin 10y agoYes, but a fully functional assault rifle killing dozens when sold to someone whom is badly mentally ill - no liability? For example, liability could extend to the sales process rather than be held by the individual store. http://everytown.org/press/new-fbi-data-shows-mental-health-records-in-background-check-system-tripled-since-release-of-fatal-gaps-report-pressed-states-to-submit-records-of-prohibited-gun-purchasers/ http://everytown.org/press/new-fbi-data-shows-mental-health-...
- MrMember 10y agoHow does it follow to hold manufacturers responsible for that crime? They legally manufactured a rifle. That rifle was legally sold to a distributor. That distributor legally sold the rifle to a retail store. That store legally sold the rifle to the shooter. How could it be argued that the manufacturer acted negligently?
- lostlogin 10y agoWould it surprise you if someone with an assault AR-15 shot 5 people dead in the next few weeks? How is it ok it keeps happening and the manufacturer keeps profitting but not having any responsibility? Someone is bound to bring up cars, an a counter example. Cars are needed. Are AR-15s?

How do you expect to "hold someone responsible" for something over which they have no control? > Cars are needed. Are AR-15s? This is your opinion.
