Even if Congress does manage to pass gun legislation in the weeks ahead—still a big if—that legislation will leave much to be done. The proposed framework does not, for example, increase the minimum age for purchasing firearms, address assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, or close background-check loopholes for secondary sales, among other shortcomings.
Americans who want a more far-reaching answer to the country’s gun crisis should look elsewhere: to the nation’s tort system, which is available right now to push gun manufacturers to adopt precautionary marketing practices, safer designs, and more supervised sales regimes.

-and of course, no mention of the ethnicity the great percentage of those guilty--
96% of firearm deaths in the U.S. are apprently okee dokee with the pols since most are b on b killings. Who’s racis’? They are!
The odd irony about the comparisons with the tobacco industry is that, until only very recently, smoking was such a large part of the news media culture. Given that, it seems kind of odd journalists will lecture to us law abiding gun owners about such comparisons.
The Atlantic should write an in-depth article on exactly what is “high-capacity ammunition”....
If the leftist enemies at the Atlantic are exterminated there is no gun crisis
We don’t have a gun crisis. We have a criminal crisis. Now let’s see if we can find out who they are and lock them up.
Sorry Princess Kimberly. There is NO GUN CRISIS. There’s an evil people crisis. Nothing is illegal anymore. No use trying to make owning guns illegal. Americans would have owning them legal again in no time.
“push gun manufacturers to adopt precautionary marketing practices“
No, the a-holes at The Atlantic want the gun makers litigated into bankruptcy
Enemies of the Constitution are everywhere.
Cognitive dissonance at its best: Use the judicial system to reduce gun violence, while refusing to use the criminal version of the judicial system to punish illegal gun violence. Democrats hard at work here.
It’s not a “gun crisis” but a crisis of criminal violence, mental illness, drug abuse, and a dereliction of duty by DAs in blue cities.
“The best hope for fixing America’s gun crisis” IS,
WAIT FOR IT

SHOOTING ALL THE CRIMINALS!!!!
And how does the tort system work here? Pretty sure gun manufacturers are exempt from almost any liability for what other people do with their guns. Unless Remington shot up your house, or Ruger sold a pistol directly to a guy they knew was gonna shoot you, your case is gonna get tossed pretty quick!
Yeah--I stopped reading at that phrase.
