I don’t think that’s legally possible or ethically supportable. You can’t select one class of legal product out of thousands and hold the manufacturer responsible for that product’s criminal misuse.
Suppose I make a bomb out of chemical fertilizer and blow up a building, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds more. Is DowAgro responsible for those deaths and injuries?
Why should guns be treated differently than other products?

Precisely.
Is Schrade going to get sued if someone is stabbed to death with one of their knives? After all - knives and other such pointy instruments were designed and used as weapons since the beginning of mankind.
