If normal consumer product tort and liability laws applied to gun
companies as they do to all other consumer product companies,
there would be a much different gun situation in the US. *Guns
would be more expensive and much safer to handle when exposed to
children for example.


Civil suits arising from damages caused by firearms are
specifically prohibited by "The Protection of Lawful Commerce in
Arms Act," (2005), and became Public Law 109-02


And what logical, rational argument can anyone put forward defending
that law?

How would gun violence and death in the US be different if firearms were
treated EXACTLY like other consumer products under the law?

Why are they treated differently?


Because they are crazed in America. And gun manufacturers make lots
of money off the simple minded, fearful fools that buy them..


False, but that's an absurd reason for allowing suits against them for
something they did not do. Why don't you answer HeyBub's post?

You GOT to be simple minded to leave a loaded gun where a two year old
can find it.


....and that's the gun *MANUFACTURER'S* fault? You *are* a moron.
