No other first word country has the amount of gun death.
You're not kidding, are you. You don't know about this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection...n_Arms_Act
Quote:The purpose of the act is to prevent firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable for negligence when crimes have been committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S. based manufacturer of consumer products (i.e. automobiles, appliances, power tools, etc.) are held responsible.
Put simply it means that if someone is shooting up a movie theater and his gun blows up in his face HE can sue the manufacturer for building a defective product...however his victims can not sue because up until it exploded it was working just fine.
This country is totally fucked up about guns and the reason is simple. NRA + money + corrupt politicians.
