>If a gun manufacturer should be held liable for the results of people misusing a gun They aren't.

  > They aren't. But many say they should be. Simply because they want to drive the gun industry out of existence and outlaw private ownership of guns in the U.S. And FTR, I normally would not favor regulating Airbnb out of existence. But I've had such a bellyful of Airbnb CEO Brian Chevsky's self-rightousness, that I would love to see him and his investors take a multi-billion dollar haircut. The Democrats weaponized the federal government against their political enemies. I'd love to see them, and their supporters, get a taste of their own medicine.

    So you want to enact sweeping legislation that covers an entire industry because you feel that the CEO of a single company has a poor attitude and you want to spite him? I'm at a loss for how naive and petty that viewpoint is, and how drastic the unintended consequences could be. But hey, you stuck it to the man, good job!
