If a company knowingly produced a defective product, then yes, they could be sued. If they did not know, yes, they still could be sued. But a company that did neither can not be sued if their product is used to harm someone.

A gun is an item whose sole purpose is to harm something or someone. If a gun is made that fails to fire due to a faulty mechanism, then yes, they can be sued.

You and I can agree on limitations, requiring stricter safety measures like safety locks on all guns, etc. But just because you don't like guns and don't like that guns have been used to kill innocents does not mean you get to sue them.

It really is that simple.
