I saw a report that indicated some of the families that the D.C. snipers killed are suing the company that makes the gun used in the killings. While I defiantly feel sorry for the victims and their families, I do not think this lawsuit is right. I understand there a lot of people out there that may disagree.

I have heard from others, concerning this subject, who insert that without the gun the killers would not have been able to do what they had done. That is to say shoot someone from such a distance with such accuracy. While I agree this may be true, the gun manufacturer did not pull the trigger.

If you are to follow that line of reasoning, you must also blame the military, which I believe trained one of the shooters. You might then also blame the car manufacturer who made the van they where driving and so on.

I believe the shooters should pay for what they have done but I do not blame the gun.

I would like to hear other people’s opinions, however if this is an old topic and no one wishes to comment I understand.
