    This entire thread chain is in place to suggest that only guns which are designed to kill, should have their manufacturs liable for what other people do with the product. No other industry was brought up, just guns. Why? Because at the end of the day, you’re all for complete bans, and no amount of “nuh uh, we’re fine with hunting rifles” or whatever else bullshit, that’s the end goal…you just try and sugar coat it so you can try and gain some support for the idea.

      It was a single example as a thought exercise.

      All the rest are words you’re putting on other people’s mouths.

          There you go again, putting words in even more people’s mouths.

          Anyway, what would that have to do with the fact that guns are tools.designed specifically for killing?

            Naa that’s literally the end goal. It’s pointless to sugar coat it.

            Because I’m not the one suggesting that companies be liable for what people do with their products. Way more people a year die from alcohol than guns (it’s like a 3xs as many) and alcohol has no other purpose but a vice, yet you’re probably not going to suggest that companies be liable for drunk drivers who kill people, nor are you going to suggest that they cover all the alcohol related health issues…are you.

      Uh, I started this thread, and I brought up other products: electric chairs and the guillotine.

      And, no, hunting rifles are the worst kind of guns. They are definitely designed for killing. But my point was that not all guns are designed for killing.
