I would agree that postulate CAN work, but it's miles away from being an absolute truth. I am a firm believer in the citizen's right to own a gun, but it's only sane to say that a life of crime can forfeit this right. I also believe in registration of certain types of weapons, and believe that trigger locks should be advocated with greater zeal.

As I see things at first glance, I would imagine that the lax enforcement of gun control policies would be the fault of the gun dealerships and distributors, not the makers of the guns themselves. If a gun sale takes place under unlawful terms and a death comes about, WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE AT THE POINT OF SALE should be held accountable. I honestly don't see how Smith and Wesson would be at fault if an ex-convict buys a gun from Grandpa Jeb's Pistol Palace, but if there is a direct line of reason therein then let me know.

I do, however, tend to think that any immunity granted in the legal system is an open invitation to abuse. I would have to see the precise language of the bill in order to really take a side on this particular issue, but I'm far too lazy.
