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.

You are splitting hairs my friend, the car you say is made for transportation, but the guy it ran over is just as dead as if you had shot him with a bullet, and if he was drinking while driving the alcohol manufacturer should also be sued. It is a ludicrous concept to sue the manufacturer of a legal product for it's misuse. Guns are made and sold to the general public for self protection, sport and hobby. If they are misused that is the person using the item or driving the car or drinking the alcohol fault, not the manufacturer. By the way, NOT all guns are made to terminate life, there are quite a few designed for target shooting only.
You seem to be eradicating the perpetrators guilt and blame and pushing it off on someone else just because you don't like their product. Put the blame where it belongs...squarely on the shoulder of the human being who commits the crime....not on everyone around him
