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.

Because they have the power to stop the flow of guns to the black market. Moreso than any police or military, in fact. Let me put it this way, we hold cigarette companies responsible for their products, so why not firearms? In fact, why not tobacco, alcohol, and firearms? You continue to say that you have to take the necessary steps to protect your family. This is one such step. Yes, it's nopt perfect, but the idea is tto improve the situation. IF a gun control system can make a serious positive difference in the world, then police will need less arms, and we will have descalation instead of escalation. Descalation is the key to lasting peace and safety. A world wiuth less weapons is more safe, right?
