“A federal statute largely immunizes the gun industry from the kind of legal liability that can encourage safety-enhancing product reforms.”

100% false.

They can be held liable for defective products.

The only protection this gives them is, basically, against frivolous lawsuits and acts of others through misuse or criminal use of the products or other acts/things beyond their control through misuse by others. The same protection other industries have through a mixture of laws.

In reply to Geoff “I’m getting too old for this shit” PR.

The moron started drinking at 6 PM, then placed the firework on his head at about 10:15 PM.

Anyone wanna bet his last words were “Hold my beer and watch *this*.” ?

Parents that cannot trust their kids would be the primary if not only market for smart guns in non agency purchases that I can think of. There will always be one failure point too many for most gun owners to trust the technology and with a bare minimum of 400 million “dumb” guns in circulation the concept will be a joke unless it can be exclusively applied to new weapons tech that is superior to conventional firearms and unable to be made outside of a lab/factory

“A federal statute largely immunizes the gun industry from the kind of legal liability that can encourage safety-enhancing product reforms. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has virtually no authority over guns.”

First off, you can sue a gun maker and win if there is a defect that causes injury or death, so stop lying and saying gun makers have no liability.

What you cannot do is sue a gun maker because someone picks up a gun and pulls the trigger.

Secondly, drunk driving deaths kill roughly the same number as guns do, even including suicide. Ask them to explain why Chevrolet and Jack Daniel’s aren’t held criminally-liable for drunk driving deaths. Why should gun makers be any different? Legal product, used irresponsibly…
