First it was not the fault of the gun. The fault lies with the person who planned the murders. But why did she plan the killings, was there some violence , was she afraid for her life, was she being robbed or her home and place to live? I do not know these things and nothing in the story says anything about this, the story seems to want money from someone other that the person who did the deed.

A gun is made to kill. We all know that, that is why you never accept the fact that a gun is unloaded unless you yourself check, why you never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to harm or that is intending you harm.

The Constitution gives the people the RIGHT to keep and bear arms, just as it gives the people the freedom of speech and the other freedoms of the bill of rights.

To think that you should be able to sue a manufacture for something that was used to kill is stupid. Those killed with axes, knives, baseball bats, tire irons, poison, rope, belts, fists, tasers, hands, concrete feet, or the thousands of other means no one seems to care only those that want the criminals only to have guns want to sue the manufacturers of guns.

A gun is made to propel a projectile, with some degree of accuracy and speed. What that projectile hits, or if it's even launched is up to the human operator.

The Constitution gives the people the RIGHT to keep and bear arms, just as it gives the people the freedom of speech and the other freedoms of the bill of rights.

The Constitution by it's very terminology, does not give or grant rights, it protects them. People are, as Thomas Jefferson put in the Declaration of Independence, "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights".

" The Constitution gives the people the RIGHT to keep and bear arms..."

Sorry , but your wrong here. The Constitution doesn't give you jack. It SECURES your right to keep and bear arms. There is a BIG difference.
