With every post you dig your hole that much deeper...
Who are the people dumping tens of thousands of dollars down the drain to file utterly frivolous lawsuits? Or the attorneys who work on a contingency who will dedicate time to do so knowing they will get nothing in return?

People rolling the dice for a big payday?

You're STARTING to get it. It is that very nerve that is SO sensitive on BOTH sides that justifies the very law you are questioning.

Think about it.

Laughable on its face. How can you even get to anjury if you case has no basis in law. No one is dumping my $100k or 100+ hours on a case with no basis in law. No one.

Hey, I admit this is a sensitive issue or both sides. Hell, it's a sensitive issue in my own family as I have family members who love their guns.

I am not arguing that gun manufacturers should be held liable only that any special protections given by the legislature be removed and the jury decide liability, if any. What is more American than that.

It wouldn't be the firearm manufacture in any case, it would be the ammunition manufacture issue. With out the ammunition the firearm is nothing more than a club.

Like with automobile, it's not a vehicle issue, it the oil companies issue because they make the fuel, now if it's an electric car, then it the power companies issue.

What does that have to do with the question you asked? Taking a case to court is always rolling the dice. It's up to you to be prepared.

Or were you being facetious with your question?

It's a good argument. The problem is this particular issue. It is too charged, that nerve is too sensitive. Too many frivolous lawsuits could clog the courts. Too many miscarriages of justice is possible.

With most other industries, however, you would be spot on.

That said, I believe if a movement was mounted to harm the automobile industry that rivals the movement to harm the gun industry, because their instruments of destruction kills 50,000 people a year, a movement in congress would be initiated to protect the automobile industry from being sued.

The Second Amendment.

Lefties just want a foot in the door, so they can destroy the firearms industry. It's a work around since they can't touch the 2A. It's blatantly obvious and you'd have to have a head made of wood to think we'd be that easily fooled.
