If someone misuses a vehicle in a malicious way to harm others, the vehicle manufacturer isn’t held liable, so why should a firearms manufacturer be held liable?

Car manufacturers don't just give the public the fanciest or dangerous cars, they are reserved. Gun manufacturers should not be creating assault grade weapons for the public.

“Gun manufacturers should not be creating assault grade weapons for the public.”

They don't make assault grade weapons for the public. No modern developed military is using a semi-automatic weapon.

There are still tens of thousands of deaths due to car accidents a year. I don't think that is the fault of the manufacturer.

as per the 2nd amendment, giving me the right to a well regulated militia in the case of fighting for free state, and the right to bear and keep arms, i am 100% entitled to owning a assault grade weapon. If i fall off of a ladder and break my back, i have no right to sue the ladder company. On the other side, if a gun goes off with no fault of the owner, then i can see a lawsuit. People like you are a cancer to our free society, you do no research and make irrational, emotional, and baseless claims. If you took 2 seconds and did a quick google search, you will find that said weapons make up…  Read more

yes this is a great analogy to describe this issue. people can kill others with a car just as easily as they can with a gun.

Whether they are held liable or not would be up to a court to decide bc whether it's a firearm, a car, etc its literally in the 1st amendment that we have a constitutional right to "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Now it's up to the courts and the lawyers and what not to decide if it's a legit case or not

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
