Were Gun Manufacturers sued inspite of the second ammendment?
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

In a civil suit where a product was deemed to have caused an injury the plaintiff has to prove negligence on the part of the manufacturer that directly resulted in injury. Not every shooting results in a law suit against a gun manufacturer. The manufacturer, in this instance, is not an individual, but a company and damages would be paid by the company. Also, no criminal statute violations result in damages in civil cases. Criminal law results in punishment not damages. The publisher of NYT does not break criminal law by operating his newspaper and is not directly responsible for the actions of his business personally. The times is a corporation. The individuals involved in the act, if illegal, bear the responsibility.
