Timber? Surely there's a buck in that for you?

Yorick, that is quite possibly the most unintelligent thing you have ever written on these forums. If you follow your logic, Human society as a whole would come to a halt. Every time some stupid ass pokes himself with a tooth pick, or some one gets hit with a car, the manufacturer would be liable. Completely ridiculous and assinine theory in my opinion.
Edit: 
But of course, you knew before you posted it that it would spark this kind of response...so would that be considered trolling?[/QUOTE]A toothpick that pokes someones eye out is misused. It is designed to clean your teeth.
A car that crashes, deviates from it's purpose. It's designed to transport you from one place to another.
A guns sole purpose is to terminate life. Special bullets that explode when inside a body? Guns that fire off countless bullets per second? Come on! They have no other purpose. A gun that kills is doing precisely what it's intended to do. Thus the manufacturer is directly responsible for designing, creating, assembling and making publicly available a thing that will end someones life.
