Quote: Pariah said: OR a gun could be meant to wound. Like a guy who brings a knife with him to investigate a disturbance in his house late at night. It's all about intent here. Cops are informed to aim to wound before they have to aim for a kill shot.
Like any corporeal object, guns are multi-purpose tools. Their initial creation may be for deadly use, but the same could said of Hunting knives. Simply because those are meant to slice up flesh, should they be outlawed because its the intent of the maker for it to be able to kill?
No one's talking about making guns illegal. The question is are gun manufacturers liable to any degree for the injuries there products cause? Using the states' tobacco settlement as a precedent, I believe they may. Bone up on strict liability, negligence and joint and several liability to join the discussion.
