Even if that were true, it did not warrant you reacting the way you did.
However, Pariah's post is far from off tangent. The basis for gun manufacturer liability is the idea that guns are dangerous. Pariah was pointing out that knives are also dangerous, in order to illustrate the shaking legal foundation of singling out one particular dangerous item for strict liability. A completely legitimate point.
Quote: Are you saying that injured third parties such as states and ultimately their taxpayers should have no relief from the damage they suffer daily?
They have a relief. It is called the Penal law. The people at fault--THE CRIMINALS--are supposed to be punished under it. It provides relief in the form of sending the criminals to jail.
