It's not justifiable to make ALL parties involved liable. Theres no justice in holding Smith and Wesson responsible because a grandfather bought his 21 year old grandson a 9 mm and then the grandson has it stolen only to see the gun turn up in a crime 5 years down the road.
If, for whatever reason, I get caught up in something and my gun is taken after i've been killed, why should the gun dealer or manufacturer be held responsible? That doesn't make any sense.
