(2,603 posts)You buy a gun and it explodes in your hand because of a defect you can bet your ass that you can sue the manufacturer.
If you use a gun for it's intended purpose and it was obtained legally you can't sue.
If the firearm was used in a crime and sold by a dealer that knew you could not legally own a gun they CAN be sued as well.

(2,603 posts)The purpose of a firearm is to kill. It's why they were invented centuries ago.
It's hard to call it a defect when it's used for that purpose.
