    Here[^] "Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is set to unveil a sweeping gun control proposal Monday that would include closing the "gun show loophole" and allowing victims of gun violence to sue firearm manufacturers." Does that mean I can sue a car manufacturer if a drunk drier hits me? Another stupid knee-jerk reaction to gun violence that will have no effect.

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is

      I just had a cavity fixed time to call a lawyer! Damn that Proctor and Gamble company! I'm saddened that a proposal like that could even be seriously considered.

        There is a firm of lawyers here in the UK who advertise on the radio. They will help you sue your dentist.

            Who in the U.S. cares? For the most part, the exported guns don't kill Americans.

            If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                Fast & Furious wasn't exported guns.. at least not legally. It was the BATF sending guns to Mexico to discredit the NRA/Gun Owners/Gun Culture.

                    The car-gun-analogy doesn't work, here's why: To drive a car you need to prove you're able to do so by taking a test. Any idiot person can by a gun without proof of the ability how it's to be handled.

                        that doesn't work either. You can prove you know how to shoot a gun and handle a gun. Then 3 weeks later, that person kills 9 people, and then themselves. What studies are starting to show is that "some" of these people should have been institutionalized for life, and could have been done a long time ago. However, we have no laws or checks and balances for bat shit crazy people in this country.

                          Actually there are now guidelines (if not laws) that say we cannot lock people up for being "different". Who can it be now?

                            Good point. Very dangerous territory, defining "different" from bat shit "shoot everyone in the theatre" crazy. However, I think we (America) need to dedicate some serious recon into this path of action. I should not have to give up my guns because of my bat shit crazy neighbor's actions.

                                But people are allowed to sue cigarette manufacturers. By that logic, if someone produces a product which can cause injury/death to people, we should be able to sue him. PS. Is there any purpose to which a handgun could be put that doesn't cause injury or death? Target shooting is merely practice for shooting at people.

                                        Are citizens of Germany allowed to own guns?

                                          Only rifle for hunting purpose. And for guns in general, Yes only on case by case basis if there is a valid reason

                                          cheers,
