If we prevent the abuse of the legal system there won't be a need for it.

At any rate you're wrong, the law was passed by cronies of the gun industry...the gun crazy right-wing to use your vernacular.
If you get run over by a car it's not your decision either.

Thing is there's not a bunch of loony leftist going around trying to regulate what we can drive and trying to take our high powered trucks and cars away.

So once again, the answer to your questions is because of loony libs like yourself who never let a bunch of dead kids go to waste. You use them to further your political agenda when emotions are high in a vein attempt to change the Constitution. Shame on you and your kind. SMH.

Another inane (and insane) "solution" proposed by the left.

But, of course, they know it's inane and insane--they simply don't care, as long as it puts gun manufacturers out of business.

Actually, no they didn't.

The immunity law disallows gun makers from being sued by people injured by a third party. Kind of like no one sues Ford if they get hit by a drunk driver driving a Taurus.

Talk about a snowflake answer. Your post is just anger and illogic combined into one. Take a deep breath and post again in a few minutes.

It would be the action of third party but why would the gun manufacturer be responsible for that ?

If guns were being made with inferior metals and exploding when they were fired and it sent shrapnel in to the shooter then yes that gun manufacturer should be sued but what if the shooter loaded his own bullets with too much powder that caused the gun to explode. Who is at fault there?


If I decide to drive my sports car like an idiot and I crash it can I sue the manufacturer? What if I was drunk behind the wheel? can I sue Jack Daniels and Coca Cola? I might be able to sue the bar that over served me but that is about it.


What would happen if I bought a lap top on Amazon and then used that computer to hack in and defraud people and steal their money? Is it amazons fault for selling the laptop or is it Dells or how about Bill Gates. Boy these guys all have deep pockets to sue.


Firearms are meant to be sold to responsible adults... don't forget any gun store can deny a sale if the buyer is drunk, high doesn't pass the back ground check or is sending the wrong vibe to the dealer.


You cannot blame/sue a company that is making a safe product when used as it was intentionally designed for. Doing so would open the door to all kinds of ridiculous law suits.

Sure but that's more to do with emissions.

Libs smell kid blood and are circling in for the 2A kill. Deplorable behavior.

I don't know of another industry that has such protections. However, no other industry manufactures a product whose sole purpose is to kill. Some protection is necessary or else the industry would be sued over incidents because, not that it is at fault, but because it has deep pockets.
