I can tell you right now that this one will be ruled an ND - because it was.
I agree with you that manufacturers should take into account how idiotic people can be, trouble is, the manufacturers in question -have done so-. What is it, exactly, that you think they should do? Just close up shop, send everyone home?
DODGE! Cars have breaks and air bags, but they cannot be 50 feet wide and go 500 miles an hour, nor can you let a 5 year old drive one.
Once again, you are trying to make an argument I am not making. You are buying into their insidious crap allowing them to maintain a flooded market and and UNSAFE market regardless of legally or illegally purchased guns.
Get this through your head, THIS IS NOT ABOUT RIGHTS. This is not about legal vs illegal. THIS IS ABOUT MARKETING.
The makers do not give one shit about the amount they make or where they end up.
