I do not have statistics memorized off-hand, so all I will say is that if firearms manufacturers are to be held accountable for their client's actions with their products, that liability implies that there must be some way for said firearms manufacturers to reasonably prevent their clients from making poor decisions with their products. This, however, is not within their capability or their responsibility; they are MANUFACTURERS, their job is to make the products, distribute the products, and sell them.

Correct, and it's not guns that kill, it's people. And people are hard to control regardless of their means to evil.
@9CJ6CB66mos6MO
Yes, but get the guns out of the wrong people's hands, regulate the use of those guns, ban some of them, and keeping tight security on their distribution will most definitely make that easier to prevent. We're the actual producers of these guns, so a universal common-sense amendment to have laws in place against it WILL help the issue.
@9GKQ3VK6mos6MO
The Manufacturers are not responsible for any threat or action made by the clients. It is impossible to say they have something to do with violence committed by the clients. Once the gun is registered to its owner, it is the owner's responsibility to keep it in safe hands and use it effectively for self-defense. They have no access to the minds of the clients, nor do they have control of whoever the firearms are being sold to. I will say however that guns should not be produced in the first place, but in the world we live in, we need guns to protect ourselves.
