GCR #15 Music and firearms lawsuits

Published on January 1, 2015
Duration: 83:47

This discussion analyzes the legal precedent and arguments surrounding lawsuits against firearm manufacturers, specifically focusing on the Bushmaster AR-15 and the Sandy Hook case. The speakers argue that manufacturers should not be held liable for criminal misuse of their products, comparing it to suing car or knife companies when their products are used in crimes. They emphasize that firearms are designed to function as intended, and liability should rest with the individual user, not the manufacturer. The conversation also touches on the broader implications for gun control debates and the importance of understanding the distinction between product functionality and criminal intent.
