...created a foreseeable zone of risk

WTH is a "forseeable zone of risk"?? Is it comparable to backing out of your driveway, cruising up the street and joining with thousands of other drivers at 75 MPH on an interstate highway? That seems like a "zone of risk" to me. Lawyerspeak is such fun.

I have an idea for a safer gun!

Lets require all gun makers to make guns that don't fire!

Wait, bad guys could still use them to bang people over the head with...

I've got it! Nerf guns that don't shoot anything..

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Problem solved. Next?

"The plaintiff argues that your client created a foreseeable zone of risk," Gross said to Valor attorney Tom Warner. "Then why isn't a duty created?"

Because the plaintiff's argument is false! Valor created no forseeable zone of risk by manufacturing and selling firearms wholesale in accordance with State and Federal laws. Were Valor to be held liable, the courts would be filled the next day with suits against Ford, GM, Toyota, DaimlerChrysler, etc., for creating risk by manufacturing and selling automobiles.

As usual, this is an attempt to get to deep pockets, as well as a politically motivated attempt to bankrupt and run out of business a firearms manufacturer.

My home is a "forseeable zone of risk" for burglars or others who intend to do harm....
