Should victims of gun violence be allowed to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers?
Yes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity
Intent of the business would be assumed, which is a dangerous legal doctrine, but the precedent that any business would be responsible for how their product was used would effect all industries negatively. This precedent would have a huge negative on the auto industry, construction industry, pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as any other industry. This argument also lessens the responsibility of the individual actor.
