58. Good Lord! The product pumped bullet after bullet into child after child.

The deaths at Newtown were not the result of a faulty product.

If the product wasn't faulty, then the manufacturer needs to be tried and jailed as an accessory to murder.

Calling it a faulty consumer product is putting the best possible spin on it, from the point of view of the manufacturer.

It's the spin that keeps the manufacturer out of prison.
