...established law and basic fairness. Guns are legal to manufacture and safe when used properly. It isn't their fault, the manufacturers say, that criminals buy their products and use them to shoot people. "You don't sue General Motors when someone drives drunk and hurts someone," says Smith & Wesson lawyer Anne Kimball.
