If gun manufacturers are responsible for all gun related violence?

Does that mean all car manufacturers are responsible for all car related violence?

Are all knife manufacturers responsible for knife related violence?

Are all parents responsible for domestic violence?

This makes no sense to me. Why is it that the left thinks you can solve these problems by attacking gun manufacturers and letting people sue them for the actions of stupid people?

When a man writes hate with a pencil is it the pencil manufacturers fault?

Update:

Andro---there is only one weapon in human history that was made with the sole purpose of killing people. Can you name that weapon?

Update 2:

Xpat==the last gun restrictions were signed by Bill Clinton. If you are going to comment, atleast know what you are talking about.

    Firearm manufacturers are NOT responsible for any gun related violence! That is just an underhanded claim of the gun haters use to make firearms sound evil. The liberal gun haters lie, that is all they can do, because they have no truth. Here is the way liberal gun haters think, no matter how many times the claim this is not their goal.

    Our main agenda is to have ALL guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed. Sarah Brady, Known gun hater.

    I don't believe gun owners have rights. Sarah Brady, Known gun hater.

    Lets look at crime. I mean do you hear them say time to sue Gm or Dodge because they were used in a domestic or as a get away vehicle. When a drunk driver or a person texting hits a individual with their car they don't yell the vehicle manufacturer is responsible. When any other tool is used in a crime they do not say sue the maker of the tool they say get the perpetrator. Why should it be any different in the case of the firearm.

    All is big word

    However there is a long and well documented history of manufacturers being held responsible for the death and destruction that there products cause.

    There is more recent history of parents being held responsible for the violence that their children do.

    Update :

    you know what the rape victim, the robbery victim, and the murder victim all have in common?

    Many of them were ARMED and despite that fact the crimes still occurred.

    They lack logic. A gun is an inanimate object. The anti-gun crowd doesn't realize that if I am legally allowed to own and conceal a firearm, I'm actually the best candidate to babysit their kids - because I've gone through rigorous background checks and I have no felonies. Unfortunately they like to blame the object rather than the person because that would require taking personal responsibility for ones actions.

    Well... you've got it all figured out there, don't you? Very clever line of logic... except one problem:

    "... gun manufacturers are responsible for all gun related violence?"

    I don't think anybody ever said that or if somebody did, they are rare anomalies. The answers to all your questions always become much clearer and more obvious when you base your questions on reality and not imaginary characters.

    Your premise is false. Gun manufacturers are not responsible for all gun-related violence. "The left" is not attacking gun manufacturers. The last federal legislation that curtailed the rights of gun owners was signed by Republican Ronald Reagan.

    The anti-gun lobby's "logic" has never once failed to leave me scratching my head and wondering how far off the mark one group could possibly be.

    As it has been stated elsewhere many times, you know what the rape victim, the robbery victim, and the murder victim all have in common?

    They were unarmed.

    Of course, the anti-gun dorks would have you believe that using harsh language would have been just as effective as a gun.

    No , the only common thing is humans. Humans are responsible for violence. If it wasnt guns or knives, it would be clubs and spears.

    my opinion would be that the Anti-Gun crowd tends to think with emotions rather than logic

    You are trying to use parallels as a logical comparison to show liberals their thinking is skewed or wrong, all that's going to do is have names thrown at you.
