This feels like suing gun manufacturers over murder. They made the tool but they're not the ones responsible for the crime.

Mexico is suing U.S. gun makers for selling high-powered weapons that fuel drug cartel violence.

"That led to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which effectively granted gun manufacturers and sellers immunity from lawsuits related to harm “resulting from the criminal or unlawful misuse” of guns.

Unlike other industries, the gun industry was now largely free to act as it chose."

I doubt the kitchen knife industry is worried about getting sued, but they are readily available to use in stabbing.

Yeah that "unlike other industries" is a load of crock. Nobody goes after car manufacturers for all those deaths either unless there's an actual flaw in the car itself that caused it.

Hell we barely go after the pharmaceutical industry and they KNOWINGLY cause harm when they downplay all the risks that they do.

+1 for the pharmaceutical industry. Those motherfuckers are actively causing harm. They pay doctors to over prescribe, which leads to addiction, which leads to more pharmaceutical sales. They are basically with the tobacco industry
