True, but the point is, plenty of manufacturers get sued for making products that can hurt people despite their being used contrary to the manufacturers intent.

Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was passed by the U.S. Senate on July 29, 2005, by a vote of 65-31. On October 20, 2005, it was passed by the House of Representatives 283 in favor and 144 opposed. It was signed into law on October 26, 2005, by President George W. Bush and became Public Law 109-92.

The purpose of the act is to prevent firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable for crimes committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible.

Frankly, I think they should be open to lawsuits for crimes committed. If only to harass them some. To date, Bushmaster and neither the NRA have made a statement about Newtown. That’s weird.
