Ah, there is the products liability issue for Manufacturers.

But, let us also look to the Dealer immunity. A gun dealer can *certainly* be liable for a murder or other injurious use of a gun. And I'm not talking about the obvious ("What, you sold a Kalishnekov to a convicted felon?"), I'm also talking about other situations where one should be liable. I have seen gun dealers refuse to sell to a customer who was clearly half-cocked. Just as I have seen bartenders refuse to serve the guy who's falling off the barstool. And add to immunity the complication that so many guns are sold at gun shows, and you have a recipe for disaster.

I don't want to let anyone completely off the hook for their wrongs.
