Legal iability of gun manufacturers [W:28]

Re: Legal iability of gun manufacturers

There is no argument, otherwise through 6 degrees of separation we would all be responsible for some law or another being broken. Criminality isn't a product of the butterfly effect.

Absolutely. Criminality is the result of an individual choice, made for the criminal's benefit at the expense of another. It is not the fault or caused by their backstory, whatever that might be. The only person responsible is the one commiting it.

Moderator's Warning:
This thread is about the legal liability of gun manufacturers. It's not about magazines, assault weapons, or whatever other random gun related topic people would like to throw in here as bait. Stick to discussing the topic or more actions will be taken then have already been handed out
 
Re: Legal iability of gun manufacturers

Just a general question.

High capacity magazines are banned in certain jurisdictions. If such a magazine in used in conjunction with a crime, will that open the door to liability for the manufacturer as a facilitator because it is an illegal product? Or are there civil restrictions in the bans in Connecticut and NY? I know there is a federal law in this regard but would it be negated when the products in question are not legal in those jurisdictions?

I'm just wondering if its a liability under foreseeable outcomes. I don't know if the tort has a leg to stand on or if it has even been tried yet.
 
Re: Legal iability of gun manufacturers

High capacity magazines are blamed for the mass murders that they were used in. The manufacturers of said magazines were not blamed, so your hypocrisy charge is wrong.

How the heck is a magazine responsible for the mass murders? Do we have some nutters making such incredible claims. It is obvious that the manufacture played no part in the crime. Do they allow such dangerous people to vote?
