Comment on Why shouldn’t firearm manufacturers be held accountable for the use of their weapons in crimes?
JBCJR@kbin.social 1 year agoFair point, I think that does highlight an issue with how they are sometimes marketed. If Chevy's next truck had a front end specifically designed to mow people down and they had a commercial demonstrating its effectiveness in a crowd, I think people would freak out; even the most unreasonable would probably say "WTF Chevy?" A person could make the argument that guns aren't primarily designed with harming others even with self-defense in mind, but for hunting, but I think that argument conveniently ignores the fact that some gun owners may have never even hunted for their food and they own one simply to protect themselves against someone who doesn't care whether the gun they own and wield with the intent to harm or commit a crime is legal or not.
