Suing gun manufacturers – on what basis?

[M14 Shooter]

Let us say....

-Smith and Wesson legally produces a revolver
-S&W legally transfers this gun to a wholesaler
-The wholesaler legally transfers the gun to a dealer
-The dealer legally transfers the gun to a buyer
-The gun is stolen from the buyer by a criminal.
-The criminal sells the gun to another criminal
-The 2nd criminal uses the gun to kill several children.

Please submit a sound argument as to how S&W has a legal, criminal, or civil responsibility for the deaths of the children - that is, on what grounds can S&W be sued?

It failed to have a warning label on the product.

There really are no logical grounds. Since S&W, however, has a lot of money, they are targets for money hungry lawyers and plaintiffs. Neither the criminals, the buyer, or the dealer have the kind of money that means a big payday for the less scrupulous.

The actual goal here is to drive gun manufacturers out of business.

There is no legal ground to sue the manufacturers of any product based on how the person who purchases the product useses it.

Guns make liberal pussies scared and they have the constitutional right to not be scared. Something like that I think.

Again....not one anti gunner is here.........defending this...where is joe...he firmly believes this.....

The anti gunners are launching various fronts against guns.......judges, bans on types of gun and equipment...and if they get power...they will go after the gun makers.......

They will not stop till all guns are banned....

They will do it if they have the political power to do it, i.e. if Hilalry gets elected.

This is where all the fake conservative Republicans show their true colors by whining about Trump instead of supporting him to stop Hillary's assault on the Constitution if she gets elected.
