[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Allow gun manufacturers to be sued. Why do they get special protections? We can sue all other manufacturers but not guns? [/quote]

I think people can sue them now. At least in a limited way.

[i]The civil court case in Connecticut focused on how the firearm used by the Newtown shooter — a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle — was marketed, alleging it targeted younger, at-risk males in advertising and product placement in violent video games. In one of Remington’s ads, it features the rifle against a plain backdrop and the phrase: “Consider Your Man Card Reissued.”[/i]

But they shouldn’t be protected from liability.

They can be sued under state laws, but not federally. Makes it difficult to build class action cases against the manufacturers, but not impossible. It took the Newtown parents many years to finally finish their lawsuit.

California is mounting some very big cases against gun manufacturers. Basically, to bleed them dry and have the manufacturers come begging for consistent regulation. [/quote]
