I think weapons manufacturers should be held liable for a mass killing. I don't think that's insane. Especially if the people suing are the victims of the weapon they made.

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.
