Should victims of gun violence be allowed to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers?
Yes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity
Its like saying that you should be able to sue Ford if someone uses one of their vehicles in a drunk driving incident.

It would be illogical to sue the company who made the product because someone used it in a way the manufacturer did not intend. Many things from a dog bone to a HDMI cable can be used in illegal and dangerous ways, but no one would want to then sue the company who made them because someone used their product in a way they did not intend their product to be used. The same logic would apply to firearm manufacturers.

Firearm manufactures do not intend their firearms to be used in mass shootings. If they make military weapons they intend it to be used by military organizations. If they make civilian weapons they intend them to be used on shooting ranges, collections, or for hunting.

I understand your point, but you also forgot self-defense and its adjacents (home defense, defense of family, professional security guards, etc).

Yes, this is so true! Like, they don't have to sit down with you and have a full-on conversation on how people are going to use the gun! It's not their fault that their product was used in the wrong way! Like, They were not a part and helping the person doing the crime. All they want to do is be able to sell their products and to be able to provide food on the table for their loved ones.
