Nacht the issue is with all the things you mentioned, even a car, the things are deviating from their inteded purpose. With the gun, when it misses it deviates from it's intended purpose. It is designed to end life. When a life is destroyed the gun is doing exactly what it was made to do. Hence the litigation possibilities. They should make guns safer. Have a "stun" option or something. Or not make them at all. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So it doesn't matter how many examples of a car, pen, pool, clothesline or electrical device killing someone, that are brought up, it ignores the issue of design and intent of the product concerned.
