Some of these victims families find it irresponsible of gun companies, why deny them the right to be heard in court.

How does the serial number on a gun prevent somebody from using it illegally ? The serial number could only be used to locate an owner if the police have that gun in hand. Chances are that gun was not purchased legally anyway .
