Well you can thank the gun manufacturer liability shield laws for that. Like the The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) of 2005.
- 15155 3y agoThe alternative is special interest groups suing arms manufacturers out of existence as a backdoor means to deprive people of their Second Amendment rights. One can still sue an arms manufacturer if a faulty product explodes in their face.. they just can't cry foul about what other people do with these lawful products.
- bumby 3y ago>they just can't cry foul about what other people do with these lawful products. I think it's a bit more nuanced. This statement is mainly related to manufacturing defects, but there are other avenues to liability more related to "reasonableness". It's also important to note this has changed over time, from former negligence liabilities to the current form of strict liability. (Point being: how society defines liability changes)
