Basicly it says that congress passed a law that says we cannot sue the gun company who made the gun if it is used to committ a crime. why would this even have to be a law?
This just goes to prove that common sense aint so common. For example, would you sue Ford if a drunk Driver ran over and killed your wife/husband while he was driving a ford?
Would you sue Dell becuase the cops raided your house and busted you with kiddie porn on your Dell computer?
The fact of the matter is that a manufactureer has no control over how the consumer uses their products. I fhtey misuse a product the responsibility should be theirs to bear. However if the product is faultly and somebody is hurt due to that fault then the company can and shoudl be held liable. This new law, just makes sense to me. I hate the fact that it ever had to become a law to begin with. People should be smart enough to know that just dont walk around and kill people. At least I have never seen it do that before. Anyybody else have an opinion on this?
