(17,671 posts)Some people respond that the vast majority of them are not made to kill but to propel a projectile through a piece of paper or whatever. I disagree. Most firearms designs, if not all of them, began as weapons of war. Every gun ever made is certainly made to kill. But that's where the conversation usually stops. There is a very important question that lies below the reality of ballistics. Who are guns made to kill?
Unless you can look on the side of the receiver and read who that gun was made to kill or until they design a gun that will only shoot certain people under certain conditions, you can't prove intent or negligence.
The NRA is a lobbying organization like any other. Their objective is profit like any other. They have two feet in the public advocacy trough just like all the anti gun organizations. And the battle royale that gets played out in the media and on the internet keeps them all in business and sends rivers of money to Washington, which is kind of a problem. Suing them will just make them money and help all the associated single digit percenters become fraction of a single digit percenters.
