I heard this on the news this morning. I'm sure the company will appeal, but I really hope the decision is upheld. Gun makers shouldn't be immune to answering for the consequences of such a dangerous product.

What galls me is that 45 is going on again about how mental health needs to be addressed with regard to gun violence, and guns don't kill people, blah, blah, blah. He won't address the real issues: the easy availability of guns and the culture of hate he has espoused and engendered.

Let’s not forget that his first real lawmaking accomplishment was to roll back Obama-era legislation that tried to prevent mentally ill people from getting guns ...
