If the engine in your car explodes because of a defect is it your responsibility? I would think most manufacturers are going to fix a "defect" instead of having problems and geting sued. The price to fix it is probably much less than getting stuck with a bunch of lawsuits. Kind of Good Will too.

That is not the same thing. A firearm is a very simple device and anyone that owns one should be intelligent enough to know all the parts and their functions and be able to identify problems. If you are not aware of a problem with your firearm, YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR THAT IGNORANCE. not the manufacturer.

Basice maintenance of a firearm is the owners responsibility and if the owner is not smart enough to handle this task....then tough *.
