not sure you have all your facts straight...sticking with your car analogy, I suspect if Ford or GM (Google GM shielded lawsuit) found themselves the target of 40 American cities and counties filing purely political law suits they'd seek the same protection ....I'm sure every creep lawyer in the country was drooling at the precedent and that may be why Congress acted so quickly, ..... no, I can't make sense of holding a car, gun, knife, lollipop manufacturer responsible for what an individual does with their legally manufactured and sold and non-defective product...
